National Shipbuilding Procurement Strategy
CSC is part of the 201National Shipbuilding
Procurement Strategy, under
which Canada will replace the
current surface fleets of the Royal
Canadian Navy (RCN) and the
Canadian Coast Guard.
For the
combat element of the CSC for
the RCN, initial development
will focus on Arctic/Offshore
Patrol Ships (AOPSs), followed
by the CSC. The Joint Support
Ships (JSSs) will be built for the
RCN under a non-combat work
package.
In RCN service, the CSC project
will renew Canada’s surface
combat fleet by replacing the
capabilities currently delivered by
the Navy’s Iroquois class destroyers
and Halifax class multi-role patrol
frigates.
