Canada has selected the Type 26 Frigate as the preferred option for the Royal Canadian Navy’s future Canadian Surface Combatants.
The Canadian Surface Combatant is the name given to the procurement project that will replace the Iroquois and Halifax class warships with up to 15 new ships beginning in the early 2020s as part of the National Shipbuilding Procurement Strategy. The replacement vessels will be somewhat larger than the existing Halifax class, and presumably provide a wide-area air defence capability, anti-submarine warfare capability, as well as anti-shipping capability.
The options were:
Type 26 frigate proposed by Lockheed Martin Canada and BAE Systems
Dutch De Zeven Provinciën class frigate based design proposed by Alion Canada and Damen Group
Spanish F-105 frigate design offered by Navantia.
