You see this a lot with aircraft purchases. Another reason this is so expensive is because it will be built in Canada. Canada doesn't really have competitive shipyards that produce large ships like this. So the Canadian government is in essence using the DND budget to try and kick start it the shipbuilding industry.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8519488391496270073.post-57038899633835461982017-06-04T23:08:17.722-04:002017-06-04T23:08:17.722-04:00Part of the costs is the CTPW Treaty avoidance, to...Part of the costs is the CTPW Treaty avoidance, to avoid delays, many of the systems to be installed are not based on a competitive bid, but instead, what we can already buy.<br /><br />Then there's all the additional technology and systems that were only a dream three decades ago,<br /><br />Then there's all the bluetooth enabling,<br /><br />Basically, it the same reason pickup trucks ain't cheap, and almost never dirty.Jay Farquharsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03335226520940843630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8519488391496270073.post-79419083001741027262017-06-04T23:07:08.432-04:002017-06-04T23:07:08.432-04:00I agree with Jay.
