Canada revises its strategy for JSS programme

摘要

Canada has unveiled details of its re-scoped Joint Support Ship (JSS) programme almost two years after its original JSS acquisition plan was abandoned on grounds of affordabil-ity. The revised strategy reduces the core requirement from three ships to two, although it retains an option for a third vessel. The Canadian Department of National Defence (DND) announced on 14 July that its new JSS plan will see the construction of the two vessels for CAD2.6 billion (USD2.5 billion).
