The Canadian government<\/a>\u00a0announced on Saturday that the Department of National Defence has awarded an $8 billion deal to Irving Shipbuilding to begin construction of three new destroyers for the Royal Canadian Navy<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Defence Minister Bill Blair said the new destroyer project would be Canada’s largest and most complex shipbuilding effort since World War II<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blair added that it would create more than 5,000 jobs in Halifax and across the country<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the $8 billion only pays for the first six years of construction on the three new ships<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The government said military planners now estimate the total cost of equipping and launching the three River-class destroyers will eventually reach $22.2 billion<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBy investing in our own industry, Canadian workers are helping build the fleet of the future, equipping the Navy and our members with the modern, versatile ships they need to make Canada\u2019s important contributions to peace and security at home and abroad,\u201d Blair said<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first three ships will be named HMS Canadian Fraser, HMS Saint Laurent and HMS Mackenzie<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is named after Canada’s most important waterways that connect to the Pacific, Atlantic and Arctic oceans, the Department of National Defence said<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Royal Canadian Navy Vice Admiral Angus Topshee also praised the long-awaited warship contract<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cToday\u2019s announcement is a major step forward in the delivery of the first three River-class destroyers,\u201d Topshe said in a statement. \u201cThese impressive ships will provide incredible capability to the Royal Canadian Navy and Canada, ensuring we can defend our waters against any enemy and deliver frontline combat power anywhere in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ships will include a CH-148 Cyclone multi-role military helicopter on deck<\/p>\n\n\n\n
