Construction of a patrol ship of the Arctic zone for the Canadian Navy begins at the shipyard in Halifax

World Trade Analysis Center weapons (TSAMTO) publishes information that Irving Shipbuilding is starting construction of a patrol ship of the Arctic zone for the Canadian Navy (AOPS class) at the shipyard in Canadian Halifax. The conclusion of the contract between the Ministry of Defense of the country and the company took place back in January of this year. According to the data published by TsAMTO, Irving Shipbuilding requested for the construction of five patrol ships in the Arctic zone 2,56 billion US dollars. In this case, the contract provides for the subsequent order for the Canadian Navy of the sixth similar ship.

It is reported that the names of the class AOPS ships for the Canadian Navy have already been selected. The ships will be named after those who showed themselves during the service on navy famous people in Canada. The lead patrol ship of this project will be called the "Harry DeWolf."

For reference: Harry DeWolf (aka Henry George DeWolf) is the vice-admiral of the Canadian fleet, who showed himself during the Second World War and, as the Canadians themselves report, "during the Cold War." DeWolf commanded (at different times) warships of the Canadian Navy. In 50, he worked at the Canadian Embassy in the United States as a leading military adviser. Subsequently, he was appointed commander of the main headquarters of the naval forces of the country.

The names for the other ships of the Arctic class of the Canadian Navy are: “Margaret Brooke”, “Max Bernays”, “William Hall” and “Frederick Rolette”.

The contract provides for the following deadlines for the delivery of AOPS class ships: “Harry DeWolf” should be commissioned by the Canadian Navy in the 2018 year. The last ship of the series is in 2023.

        Do not forget the Northeast Passage, which also needs to be protected. And do not forget about the claims of countries that are not currently in the Arctic 5-ku. And do not think that they will always jump to the tune of the United States. They are now together against Russia and refugees, and then it is not known. They are already struggling between Great Britain on the one hand and Germany and France on the other. And do not dump domestic problems in these countries that could lead to a sharp change in domestic and foreign policy.

    Construction of a patrol ship of the Arctic zone for the Canadian Navy begins at the shipyard in Halifax

    Well, what was required to prove. Loyal to the US servants, the Canadian "mouse heads" have decided to enter the race for the Arctic.
    Canadian Navy:
    4 diesel-electric submarines - former British type "Upholder", 1986-1992 years of construction, purchased in 1998 and after refurbishment, they entered service in 2000-2004.

    True, problems immediately began due to the lack of infrastructure for 13 years out of all 4, only 1 (one - "Chikutimi") has been in combat formation - for 2 (two) days, after which she again stood at the dock. like the others who have not made a single hike.
    The most recent boat came from Britain in a surface position when a fire broke out in one engine compartment. One midshipman died, another was burned. The boat lost its course amid the ocean and was drastically dragged to the Canadian shore — where it still stands
    More precisely, it is not worth it but is being actively repaired. By that time, the military underwater hole will devour 400 billion of money and the veterans' lifespan will remain on 2 years.
    3 old Iroquois-class destroyers p1969-1972 buildings, built according to the English Tribal project.

    A total of 4 were built, however DDG 281 "Huron" was removed from service on March 31, 2005, sunk as a target in 2007.

    Of the remaining in combat readiness, only one ship is DDG 282 Athabaskan. The other two DDG 280 "Iroquois" and DDG 282 "Algonquin" are not capable of combat.
    12 frigates of the "Halifax" class (5 in the Pacific Ocean, 7 in the Atlantic) - modern ships built in 1992-1996

    12 Kingston-class patrol ships (6 in the Pacific Ocean, 6 in the Atlantic) built in 1996-1999.

    I completely agree! I read the comments, completely "hurray-patriotism", everyone laughs at it! Russia needs to move, build ice-class warships. you need a military presence, the garrisons on the islands are good, but the Russian Arctic waters need to be guarded. Moreover, "from the water", aviation has limited time. Yes hi

      Yes! And Russia needs to build ships of these types. Nuclear-powered icebreakers will not be able to work in shallow water, in the coastal zone. Yes, and why drive expensive ships for security purposes. Small ships, well-armed, with a solid ice hull and a diesel-electric power train are suitable here high power installation.

    There is such a consideration that Russia should own the entire water area of ​​the Arctic Ocean, in solution between the extreme points of mainland Russia in longitude, with a peak at the North Pole.

    It is widely known that at the North Pole the first were the Stalinist falcons Papanin, Krenkel, Fedorov, Shirshov.

    Not Canadians claim it (although they are trying).

    Well, the USA is just a demonstration two category of American residents - liars (Peary) and fuckers (Cook).

    It seems that all this is being done to cut the military budget. Of course, under the slogan of protecting interests in the Arctic. But it is enviable that they now have very advanced underwater technologies. And we, like on a command from the United States in the 90s, flushed down the toilet, so since then we have been using foreign help in the underwater service for offshore production. And it takes up to 70% of all production costs. Goes over the hill. And if the Ministry of Defense will undoubtedly deal with the protection of the Northern Shelf Zones, then who will deal with these "super effective managers" of ours !? Indeed, in this state of affairs - guard, or not guard, all the same, extraction is actually carried out by foreigners!
