New Canadian Shipbuilding Strategy

[daftandbarmy]

I read this initially and thought "what are we the Russians now?" Russia uses large seagoing tugs/tenders because they don't have allies ports all over the place that they can use. Unlike Canada we can go just about anywhere and see a friendly face or at least one that is friendly when we pay them.

But my second thought was... Arctic. Long way to friendly ports. Sub tender/ sub rescue ship is not a bad idea, its worth a look and some research I suspect.

There's only so much you can do from ships, of course.

The elephant in the room remains the under-developed infrastructure in the Canadian Arctic...

Good news story. We need more multinational corps HQ'd in Canada. And the fact they are strategically placing themselves to create what is essentially a vertically integrated icebreaking organization is awesome. By expanding into the US the shipyard may be able to create specialized infrastructure between their various yards to build ships faster/cheaper. They are looking to be the go to experts on ice breakers and that's not a bad place to be.

Good for Davie and an interesting plan for Davie/Helsinki/Inocea but
theyre on the books for 7 icebreakers and Irving is doing 8 and Seaspan 16 plus Im not sure if the OOSV (edit PC6) and OFSV (edit PC7) have an ice class to them

PC-7 is a slush breaker. Not terrible, but not really meant for it. PC-6 is starting to be a real icebreaker. The AOP's are PC 5 hull and PC 4 bow.
