unexplained excisions edit

Latest comment: 15 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

I see the two sections someone excised here merit inclusion.

A section comparing the CGC John Diefenbaker to Maritime Command's ice-breakers merits inclusion for two reasons.

Harper's 2006 plan was to build three armed icebreakers for Maritime Command which, presumably, would have been of comparable ice-breaking capability to the CGC vessel.
The Svalbard class vessels Harper announced in 2007 are frequently compared with the CGC vessel.

A comparison of the cost of the CGC vessel with a comparable USCG vessel I believe also merits inclusion. I suggest that the projected American cost is thirty percent higher than the projected Canadian cost is very pertinent.

This section should not be included edit

Latest comment: 15 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

This was included under "other icebreakers". But these ships were not intended to have any sort of ice capability; they were just supposed to be medium-sized patrol boats. They don't belong in this article. I'm not sure the other icebreakers should even be mentioned since this article is about the Diefenbaker.

Mid-Shore Patrol Ship Project

The federal government announced plans in 2006 to acquire 12 vessels for CCG under the Mid-Shore Patrol Ship Project. These vessels were envisioned to supplement fisheries conservation and protection duties (fisheries patrol ships) in CCG's Maritime, Newfoundland and Pacific regions. It was expected that 4 of these ships were to be tasked with marine security duties in the Great Lakes - St. Lawrence Seaway as part of CCG's Central and Artic Region. This $350 million procurement project was cancelled in 2008 before final tendering was completed with no replacement project identified.^[1]

If the money to be spent on the mid-shore vessels was diverted to the Diefenbreaker, then I think it could be argued this deleted paragraph could be made to fit here.

P.S. How much patrol vessel can one get for $60 million each? Maritime Command's Orce class were somethinkg like $10 or $15 million each.

Split off other icebreaker projects edit

Latest comment: 11 years ago3 comments3 people in discussion

I propose that the section called "Other icebreaker projects in Canada" be split off into an overview article for Canadian icebreakers at Canadian icebreaker, and include a summary of this project as well. Since this article was remade into a ship article from a project article, it should no longer include a section on other projects, since this is not a project article. Instead we should have an overview article. 70.24.251.208 (talk) 09:41, 8 June 2012 (UTC)Reply

Agreed. Canadian icebreakers or Icebreakers of Canada could probably be better names for the article. I'm thinking about making a similar article about Finnish winter navigation at some point. Tupsumato (talk) 12:12, 8 June 2012 (UTC)Reply

Sounds fair enough, is anyone going to split the article then? Op47 (talk) 14:25, 24 August 2012 (UTC)Reply
