The Royal Canadian Navy (RCN) and the Department of National Defence (DND) are defining requirements for the Continental Defence Corvette (CDC) project. These corvettes are expected to provide capabilities equivalent to Halifax-class ships, fulfilling various roles such as mine countermeasures, disaster response, search and rescue, and coastal patrol. Planned missions for the ships also include interdiction, anti-piracy, humanitarian assistance, and support for continental defence.
