[I'm not sure Candian yards have the capability
to build carriers though.
Then build new yards.
.. maybe we could borrow yours ?
Seriously, its all gone now.. my old man warned me about that.
It's why I never went into shipbuilding, although I wanted to.
Saint John.. closed
Davie in Lauzon, Quebec.. closed
Marystown and
Halifax.. too small.
Weller in St. Catherines could, but can't get it out of the Great Lakes.
Good to have a carrier to protect the Lakes though
Collingwood closed long time ago.
Vancouver.. too small
Now Esquimalt should still have a thousand foot graving yard,
but thats it.. and I've seen the yards in Norfolk, the yard is its' own town
of stuff.
That would be a huge huge huge project, and Victoria has neither the
infrastructure nor the experience to put out even a small carrier,
never mind living space for an extra 4-5000 people to come and work.
pfff, even the dippers would have trouble justifying the money
for all the work needed.
