The report, The Cost of Canada’s Surface Combatants: 2021 Update and Options Analysis, examines the cost of the existing CSC program, which is intended to replace both the current fleet of Halifax-class frigates and three decommissioned Iroquois-class destroyers with a new fleet of 15 warships, based on the Type 26 ship design.
The navy’s future Canadian Surface Combatants will be constructed by local shipbuilder Irving Shipbuilding. Back in October 2018, Canada and the shipbuilder selected BAE’s Systems’ Type 26 frigate design for the newbuilds.
