Canadian Surface Combatant ship to see design review within weeks: Lockheed Martin
The CSC will replace Canada's Iroquois-class destroyers and the Halifax-class frigates.
EURONAVAL 2022 — Lockheed Martin is planning to complete the preliminary design review for the Canadian Surface Combatant by the end of this year, a significant milestone for a shipbuilding program responsible for recapitalizing a large portion the Canadian surface fleet, a company executive told Breaking Defense.
Canada selected Lockheed’s design in February 2019 and plans to purchase 15 ships for roughly $55 to $60 billion CAD ($40.1 to $43.8 billion USD), according to the government’s website outlining the shipbuilding program. The vessel, which must be capable of a range of missions from anti-submarine warfare to humanitarian assistance, replaces the Iroquois-class destroyers and Halifax-class frigates.
Glenn Copeland, general manager of rotary and mission systems for Lockheed’s Canada branch, said the delay between selection and the design review reflects the program’s importance for the Royal Canadian Navy.
“Canada doesn’t have the luxury of having three different platforms, but they’ve committed to 15 ships. So they’re taking the time to get this right,” he told a group of reporters on Wednesday at the Euronaval 2022 exhibition.

Royal Canadian Navy pitches $60 billion submarine purchase, say defence and industry sources
But that price tag could climb to $100 billion as military equipment procurement programs are rarely on budget

Halifax Dockyard in fall 1940. Three former US Navy destroyers are nested at left, with HMCS ANNAPOLIS (I 04), ex-USS MACKENZIE (DD 175) alongside. The destroyers were transferred from the US in early September 1940. Other than splinter protection to their bridges few alterations have yet been made to the former American ships. ANNAPOLIS suffered severe boiler damage to the No. 4 boiler soon after the transfer due to inexperienced operators; the boiler was burned out and removed altogether along with the fourth funnel, which clearly is still present in this photo. Work parties can be seen on board and around the former US ships.
Note the guns on the wharf in the foreground; while the Canadian and British navies generally removed three of the four four-inch guns that armed the US destroyers, these guns seem larger, probably six-inch weapons, and the British-style shield is wrong for the American weapons, one of which can be seen on the focsle of ANNAPOLIS. The guns are likely removed from an older cruiser and will probably be installed aboard merchant ships for self-defense
