Canada (Imagi-Nation)

[MechCommander]

After some consideration between Seaspan and the Project Evaluation Committee about the huge problems with the Radio control setup for a whole fleet of USVs making it impractical, It's decided that the USV program is to sadly be cancelled to avoid further headaches. Fortunately with the huge amount of crew looking for new ships to man after the decommissioning of HMCS Canada. They could be given postings in small fast patrol boats..

In anticipation of receiving the 15 Type 26 River Class destroyers,15 older ships will be retired in short order to make room for the new vessels. this will be the RCNs second attempt at a next generation warship, though this will be done in a foreign yard. as part of a new procurement strategy, by relaying on defence companies from other imagi-nations to supply the NC military with modern hardware. This will ensure a better sucess rate, and to remove our countries abysmal track record of failed projects.

De Havilland NC, Canadiar, and Bombardier Aerospace, has restarted production of the older radial powered CL-215 Water bombers for the Provinces of BC, NWT and Quebec to help fight the wildfires raging there. The other POP member nations are sending their Firefighting teams as well to assist NC in controlling the fires as well. Security along the BC side of the Hemp Curtain will be doubled, not only to keep that section safe from the wildfires with high pressure hoses but to make sure Cannabis smugglers will not take advantage of the situation.

CL-215 Water Bombers from the NC Goverment. filling up its water tanks at Stuart Lake in preparation for dealing with a forest fire near Prince George. and the serious one near the BC portion of the Hemp Curtain that borders Karmanaskis. These radial powered Water Bombers where selected to be put back into production due to a shortage of Pratt and Whitney NC Turbo prop engines needed for the advanced CL-515 variant.

The RCN is reworking on how they conduct their Patrols. Based on the Rule of thirds.

1. The number of ships in the patrol will be reduced to 3 to avoid a capability gap back home.

2. Before another patrol will start. Mandatory crew training and ship inspection will be carried out before the ships set out.

3. After the patrol is done, the ships involved will be set to the shipyard for major maintenance and refit, and it’s crews sent home for rest.

This will ensure a decent cycle of ships coming in an out of patrols. It’s up to the responsibility of the commanders operating bases in the Arctic, Atlantic, and Pacific, to ensure this rule is enforced.

A new design Competition is being launched Called the Next Gen NC Warship Competition, where Shipyards from other Nation will compete to win the contract with the RCN.

The ship must be able to carry the current list of Naval Weapons that the RCN currently operates (Sea Cat, Exocet, Joint Strike Missiles)
The ship must have a top speed of 30+ knots in compliance with the RCN's patrol speed policy.
And lastly how much will it cost to have your winning ships be sent for refits and maintenance at your yards per month to preserve your intellectual property rights for your ships.

Currently heres the list of potential candidates so far.
From France, the FREMM Class Multi Purpose Frigate.
From Japan, the Mogami Class Frigate, this was based on Australia and New Zealand's suggestion.

If you have any suggestions to add to this competition please add now.
The candidate ships must meet at ether CFB Prince Rupert or CFB Halifax for testing to determine the winner.

The hunt for modern ships for the RCN has come to a close, As it was announced that Seaspan NC in collaboration with the French Firm Naval Group, will provide Seaspan with the Tooling and the training needed to build and maintain the FREMM frigates, which will serve as a basis for NCs River Class ships. Only Three of these will be built to serve as Flotilla Leaders of the older Halifax and Iroquois Class ships in order to keep costs down. And all three are being fitted out with Australian Drone gun Tactical systems for dedicated Anti Drone operations.

There are plans to install the same Drone gun tactical systems in the Halifax, and Iroquois class ships in their next refit, to help combat attack drones too.

Call the guy in Canada that handles GHQ n CinC, get a couple of modern ships.
Buy a Perry, 2 type 26. Enough yakin’.
Maybe I shouldn’t read your posts as we’re thinking’ about this… or we stopped it. Now we’re going to do …. Stopped.
Urrrrgh.

Until the 3 FREMM frigates are fully built and ready, the Marine Nationale is loaning the MN Aquitaine to the RCN for a month so NC crews can get some training on how to operate this type of frigate.

Following the terms of the New Canada Accords as drafted by several countries and presented to the UIN all work on the Jet80+ OWA drones has ceased. The prototype drones are to be dismantled or Destroyed. some has been converted back into Target drones to be disposed of by the new FREEM Frigate MN Aquitaine to test out her weapons on.


In the NC army their KF-51 Panther tanks will have their Loitering munitions removed and replaced with regular Anti-tank missiles in it place.
