Side note, but with the rumour that they could have the winner decided by the end of the year, is that the quickest procurement deal in recent Canadian history? Going to be up their with the Leopard 2 purchase for speed. Which reminds me, they still need to replace the Leo's they gave to Ukraine and the backlog of Leopard 2a7 orders is massive. Korean K2's perhaps?

One thing I like about the Hanwha Ocean deal is they let Canadian teams be hands-on through the build process which I would imagine gives us a big leg up for maintenance and operations.
I don't know if TKMS is offering the same access, but hopefully, they are.
