OVERVIEW: The Type 26 City Class aka "Canadian Surface Combatant (CSC)"  ship is a CODLOG-powered multi-role ship 

DETAILS:   The CSC is based on the British Type 26 City-class, and will replace both the retired Iroquois-class destroyers and the Halifax-class frigates.  It is intended to perform a wide range of missions, include combat at sea, as well as counter-piracy/terrorism, interdiction/embargo operations in medium intensity conflict and search and rescue, law and sovereignty enforcement.

The weapons suite for the CSC will include 127mm main gun, two stabilized rapid fire 30mm naval gun systems, LMC MK 41 missile vertical launch system, 32-cell MK54 lightweight torpedoes, twin launch tubes, and MBDA Sea Ceptor close-in air defence system. The warships can be armed with a wide range of missiles including Raytheon Standard Missile 2, Raytheon Evolved Sea Sparrow point defence missile, Tomahawk land attack missiles and Kongsberg Naval Strike Missile. An integrated underwater warfare system will include Ultra Electronics’ S2150 hull-mounted sonar, towed low frequency active & passive sonar, and SEA SENTOR S21700 towed torpedo countermeasures. General Dynamics’ sonobuoy processing system and expendable acoustic countermeasures will also be installed aboard the vessels.

The warship can carry a CH-148 Cyclone helicopter and provide facilities for embarking remotely piloted systems. It will also feature reconfigurable mission and boat bays including a 9m rescue boat, two 9-12m multi-role boats, Rolls Royce’ mission bay handling system, and modular mission support capacity.

The LMC SPY-7 active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar will provide continuous surveillance against modern threats. The ship will also be fitted with MDA’s solid state AESA target illuminator, X- and S-band navigation radars, electro-optical and infrared systems, laser warning and countermeasures system, radio frequency and electronic jammers, and electronic decoy system.
