I have heard mention recently that the MCDVs may be next up for replacing
Now I have perhaps seen one or two mentions in the media of this but not much beyond that the Navy would like them to be capable of 25 knots.

OTL in 1963, the Royal Canadian Navy received their first Sikorsky CH-124 Sea King Helicopters. They flew from Canadian ships for more than 50 years. I greased and refuelled Sea Kings on the flight decks of HMCS Athabaskan and HMCS Iroquois. I also washed innumerable GE-T58-8F engines...

I am at it again. Looking through some old books I found an artist's impression of a 1960 Canadian design for a frigate carrying a Tartar system aft. It was described as a Tribal class frigate, so presumably was an early design for the Iroquois ships.
