Just the the RN's Merlin & our Sea Kings -we should have tagged on the the RN's order. Or at least outsourced the construction.

So, I have only a little experience with work done in Korea. A previous company I worked for had a client mandate that some of the scope be done in Korea. All the specs of how the work should be done with what material should be used were laid out clearly.

Despite that, we had a bolt fail and a lot of other issues with what they handed off to us. This isn't quite a case of you get what you pay for, and I am sure they have improved since, but I still don't see us building the ships in Canada as a waste of money when you combined it with other factors (i.e. Canadian jobs).

Again, I have limited experience with Korean work, but that one experience put me off for a long time.
