VAdm Topshee giving some thoughts regarding the MCDV replacement with his recent interview with the Canadian Defence Review. From classifying the CSC as a destroyer and now speaking of corvettes and WWII, Topshee seems to have some romantic ideas of the RCN of the past and is looking to carry some things forward. I am somewhat worried about these ideas about "more capable than what might come to mind with a corvette because it has to be a real warship."
Replacing the MCDV with something that isn't the MCDV is a disaster in the making potentially, everything from overly complex, feature kept designs to encroaching on the CSC program and resulting in cuts there. I hope the RCN is treading carefully with the MCDV replacement program, the potential for another mess seems high with this attitude.
