Newest Canadian artic ship joins the Navy.

The HMCS Harry DeWolf

I'm not sure that its really a warship at all, and I'm not sure of its purpose, and I didn't like it when the Cons announced that this was the design. Maybe Baron you can jump in on this.

But with 1 25 mm gun and 2 machine guns and one helicopter, its really not designed for sub hunting, has no real defensive capabilities and its relatively slow at 17 knots in un iced water. I guess it drags the flag but not much else.

Its not a warship to me, more like a coast guard ship.
