Ottawa to spend $400K to scrap Canadian Coast Guard ship destroyed by vandals six years ago

OTTAWA – After six years of costly indecision, the federal government will spend more than $400,000 to dispose of a Canadian Coast Guard vessel that spent more years as a “dead” ship than a seaworthy vessel.

Built in 2013, CCGS Corporal McLaren M.M.V. will have the unfortunate honour of having spent the majority of its 10 years of service as a boat-shaped hunk of metal more accustomed to dry land than swelling seas.
