You be surprised then what goes on in the commercial world, I have seen some ingenious field repairs to ships, tugs, barges as old or older than these.

MARPAC reports (on Facebook) that HMCS Protecteur is repaired and back at sea:

A recently repaired HMCS Protecteur and her crew leave Esquimalt Harbour to continue planned training in preparation for a Task Group Exercise off the coast of Southern California in October.

Not surprising; PRO didn't have much that a bit of Bondo and paint couldn't fix

 

[STJ_Kierstead]

What a beaut!

Or just some paint, the minor dents make her look more menacing.

Our senior engineer said it best one day... "DevCon? Oh that's great stuff. I don't know why they don't make the whole boat out of it."

So HMCS ALGONQUIN is obviously out of commission but is PRO the only Canadian ship representing the RCN at the Sydney IFR then I'm assuming?

We won't have any ships at the RAN IFR.

But China will.  Interesting.

The only Canadian contribution to the IFR is an Aurora from Greenwood.

I checked your link and was surprised Nigeria has a navy, with all most as many ships as Canada.
