CH-148 Cyclone can carry a Air and ship-launched lightweight Mark 46 torpedo. The CH-146 Griffon gots a .50 cal (12.7 mm) machine gun and M134 7.62 mm self-defence machine gun. Finally somewhat of helicopters that can attack.
They're not all that different. The River Class has 42 RIM-116 missiles for point defence instead of the 48 SeaCeptors on the type 26. Which is a downgrade to be sure, but not all that much. The Mk41 VLS is the same (but will be loaded out differently) and the Canadian version has 8 NSMs and torpedeo tubes, while the british version has none.
@@jamesgibson3582 You'd always prefer to be launching torpedoes from the ship's helicopter, to engage the submarines at stand-off distances. Problem is, even the most reliable helicopters need downtime for maintenance, refueling, etc. Having the helicopter available 60% of the time would be considered good. If you detect a submarine while the helicopter is down, you're just screwed if the ship doesn't have torpedeo tubes (or ASROC, but the British Type 26 won't be equipped with that either).
@@patton3rd1 thanks for the information. I am retired now so not likely to be taken in by the Navy but I have been fascinated by ships since I was a kid. These new River Class and Frigates seem a step up. The arctic patrol ship seems impressive as well.
Thanks Justin

Honestly River-class frigate sounds better IMHO with hull classification FFGH.
No mention of how SEA torpedo launcher will be integrated into CMS 330 on CSC
did you means Aegis since that what they are probably going with?
CMS 330 is in charge of the asw Aegis is in charge of everything else
Canadas “River Class Destroyer”, otherwise known as a canoe 😂
Your comment is dumb af and your laughing at it is even dumber. 🤔
These 3 Destroyers are an embarrassment to Canada. The UK type 26 Frigate has more firepower than the Canadian Destroyer. What aloud of crap !
The fools also don't buy weapons for ships or anything else

I am an armchair navy fan. My understanding is that the torpedo capability really steps up the offensive threat.
