Preserver in the Novadock


HMCS Preserver has entered the Novadock floating drydock as part of her latest life extension refit. The ship, which was supposed to be replaced by now, will be given a refit to extend her life, supposedly until a replacement can be built. At the rate these things go however, we will be lucky to see such as ship in ten years.
The governement's most recent cancellation of a replacement due to to high cost, meant back to the menu board for the navy.
In the meantime the navy is without an operational support ship on this coast.
The ship has its own webiste see: www.navy.forces.gc.ca/preserver/0/0-s_eng.asp
