Default Canada's navy cuts coast patrol fleet in half

Quote:
A shortage of money and sailors is forcing Canada's navy to mothball half of its fleet of coastal patrol vessels.
Canada's 12 Kingston-class ships, based in Halifax and Esquimalt, B.C., are operated by the navy reserve. The 55-metre vessels are used to patrol the Arctic, Atlantic and Pacific ocean coasts.
In a statement to CBC News, the navy says it made the tough choice to leave several ships at dock and strip them of their crews because it doesn't have the resources to operate all 12.
