Replacing the Subs

[Stoker]

The contract states one on the west coast and one on the east coast.
Whatever happens, each facility should have the ability to handle at least 1 sub, 1 river and 1 cdc at a time, preferably those 3 plus at least 1 more.

The last thing we need is a faculty that can only handle a sub and a river at one time and nothing else. We have a very long track record of during the absolute minimum at the very cheapest price and then wring our hands when it comes up short.
G7 country in name only.

Of course there's going to be maintenance facilities on the WC. I would foresee the same facilities supporting the west coast Victoria's being used as a possibility.

I always said Canada needs more facilities to allow warship maintenance other than the big three shipyards. Saint John to look after the subs and whatever ships that need docking that Halifax and Davie can't handle.

I would not be surprised if Seaspan bought another large floating drydock, currently they have 3 in North Vancouver.
