Direction for the Swiss Army knife ship came from the previous CDS, and has been further refined by the CF Capability Development Board.

Scope creep is always a concern in this sort of thing; my real fear is that so many additional requirements have been added on that to fit within resources available things will be cut - so key naval sustainment capabilities could end up cut or reduced to keep some of the other nice-to-haves.

Let's remember to stand on our priorities..... it would be real silly & short sighted to drop some Must haves - in order to have some of the Could haves
