'The Jewel in the Crown'

摘要

Early Obstacles The Canadian Surface Combatant, or CSC, will replace the Royal Canadian Navy's Iroquois-class destroyers and Halifax-class frigates. 1. Royal Canadian Navy (RCN) officers and defense analysts say funding issues may mean cost/capability trade-offs or fewer CSCs being built. 2. The RCN hopes to follow the process similar to that used in building the U.S. littoral combat ship, which employs various mission modules and modular ship design. 3. Support for the CSC program may come from new Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who has indicated he wants a robust Navy.
