From 52 months for Harry to 24 months for Hammy. Very, very impressive.

Is there an online system where trade skills, tools, techniques or methodologies can be shared industry wide, thereby improving productivity across the nation in real time?

The project really has come a long way. Harry DeWolf took 52 to construct, from keel laying to delivery. Robert Hampton Gray (6th and final Navy AOPS) took 24 months from keel laying to delivery.

That's a huge improvement in ship building capability. That is something to be proud of and, in my opinion, well worth the price tag of the program

Canada can do it! Appreciation to all who built and worked on the RCN/CCG AOPS and all those who will serve on them!

They really did stand up something from near nothing. We are credible ship makers now. There was a ling time where the whole country could not say that. From what I hear, despite teething issues, these ships are well loved and are proving their versatility. The capacity that has been built is now going into a higher gear for the RCD. Very exciting and we should all be proud that we now have this capability
