A Future Class of up to 15 Warships for the Royal Canadian Navy
The River-class Destroyer design is based on the United Kingdom’s Type 26 Global Combat Ship, for which DESMI has been a strategic supplier since the program’s inception. The River-class Destroyer is a future class of up to 15 warships for the Royal Canadian Navy. The first warship delivery is expected in the early 2030s.
Program Heritage
This contract reflects DESMI’s continued contribution to the Global Combat Ship platform, including earlier supply awards for the Hunter Class Frigate program in Australia. The River-class Destroyer program represents the next step in that progression.
“Being selected for the River-class Destroyer program is an important step for DESMI and a recognition of our experience across the Global Combat Ship platform” said Henrik Mørkholt Sørensen, Group CCO at DESMI. “I would like to recognize the strong performance and dedication shown across the organization in securing this contract.”
