New Canadian Shipbuilding Strategy

[Lumber]

AOPS shouldn't be sent anywhere where it is vulnerable to the threats your describe, just like how we did not send CPF's into the Red Sea as they were not adequately able to deal with the threat environment at hand. Putting a 57mm gun aboard the ships isn't sufficient insurance to risk valuable vessels and their crews in peacetime against these threats.

But we did send CPFs into the Red Sea...

Again, there are other priorities for the money.

The CA completely lacks GBAD, how likely do you think it is that the RCN will get GBAD/CUAS systems for warehouses before the CA gets those systems for the troops in Latvia?

Once the CA has systems and figures out what works, it makes sense for them RCN to evaluate those systems against the RCN's requirements.

There may be a lot more money, but it isn't infinite, and the people required to run the projects aren't falling from the skies in abundance.

I think he means having the system stored in a warehouse ready to go, not guarding the warehouse. Given the lead times even now for those systems, come a major peer conflict, Canada will find those systems non-existent within the timeframe.

Quite a few of them actually.

And in the Black sea too!

Any other colour of sea we should be thinking about before they retire?

Level 10 if you get them into the Caspian Sea.........
