I'd like to see the specs on these ships.

Artic patrol is incredibly difficult because of the obvious temperature factors. the accoustic template of the water goes against proper sub hunting, its tough to pick them up with the ambient noise factors(ice moving, deep thremal level). I doubt that these ships will be helicopter able which will handicap them some more.

The logical solution is to put in of net a sonar bouy's. Stage some CP-140 for dedicated sub hunting, equip these patrol boats with long range standoff weapons like harpoon antiship missiles, and drop the Victoria class submarines which are problematic at best and purchase a couple of German U-212 attack submarines which could work in the artic because they use an air independant propulsion system.
