In the 2008 Canadian National Shipbuilding Procurement Strategy, $26 billion was planned for the construction of the 15 vessels of the Surface Combatant (CSC) Project, with the British Type 26 design being selected for the ships. In 2017, the cost jumped to $62 billion. The cost ramped up to $70 billion in 2019, after Canada selected Lockheed Martin’s design for the ship, and then to $77 billion in 2021 and now sits at $84 billion, more than $5 billion per ship.
They are going to need to recruit a lot of foreign Trannies to crew those 15 vessels.
