The navy's news release says "the training role of the Kingston-class will be assumed by an expanded fleet of Orca-class vessels". Are they planning on building more Orcas?
Exactly my concern, they have no plan or effort to build Orca 2.0's. Actually a few new MCDV 2.0 around the same tonnage for training and route clearance would be a good idea.

Too be quite honest the Kingston weren't really designed with any role in mind.
The government's thinking was more about votes , and unemployment in certain ridings.
That and the fact that the Porte class were about to collapse from old age.
