Daughter of the Nine Moons Posted October 3, 2004 #4 Share Posted October 3, 2004 And how many billions over budget do you think that this will go (gun registry, sponsorship scandal)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thanato Posted October 4, 2004 Author #5 Share Posted October 4, 2004 i would estimate around 40-50 million per ship plus all the training, plus the designing, i would estimate that a total of 500 million will be spent on it. But thats just a gues. ~Thanato Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AztecInca Posted October 4, 2004 #6 Share Posted October 4, 2004 Does the canadian navy really require these ships?! Just seeking info here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thanato Posted October 4, 2004 Author #7 Share Posted October 4, 2004 Yes the Canadian Navy requires New Replenishment Vessels and the Army requires the ability to deploy with out assistance from Russia, or the US. But combining thoughs tasks into one vessel would be a bad thing i think. i would say we buy 6-8 vessesls, 2-4 Replenishers and 4 transport ships. ~Thanato Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thanato Posted October 4, 2004 Author #8 Share Posted October 4, 2004 Oh, and Canada is thinking of Purchasing ither a Helicopter Carrier, a Light Fleet Carrier, or both. Since Canada has been out of the Carrier bisnes since the early 70's Canada i think it would be a good idea, Both Vessels would be able to use the VTOL F-35B which is still under development. ~Thanato Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
