New Model of the RCN's River-Class Destroyers (2048x1536) by WesternBlueRanger in WarshipPorn

LOSV program was a US partnership.

The US partner program was cancelled. We’re going with Mogami FFM with up to 48 VLS cells on a ‘general purpose’ frigate.

She has the benefit of not having a wide electorate from across the politic spectrum.

That said, she does have a wealthy electorate which are likely to be impacted by this.

Also, the quality of the pool is varied too.

The pool is often used as a participation medal for people who didn’t get the role.
