Continental Defence Corvette

[Kirkhill]

How would a corvette with 8 NSMs have changed that scenario?

Are we planning to sink every boat without AIS?

Good border control starts well before our borders, and well outside our strike range,

Leave the NSMs off her and gain another couple of knots.

That scenario requires better radar coverage of our coast, more presence on the water (RCMP, CCG, RCN, Volunteer coast watchers ) and a somewhat competent CBSA (In my dealings with them, I have been less than impressed). Having a CDC stationed at Prince Rupert and combining training and patrolling along our coast would be a good addition to our marine awareness, as would a KSS-III patrolling and training. Keeping in mind we also have 200 mile economic zone to protect as well. That would mostly be surveilled by aircraft and satellites, but you need ships to investigate contacts and make our presence felt.

As the resident CCG expert, could some of these sorts of investigations be carried out by Coast Guard Vessels under their updated mission set?
