"An equivalent success in a real conflict would have resulted in the deaths of over 20,000 service personnel.  Soon after the cruise missile offensive, another significant portion of Blue's navy was "sunk" by an armada of small Red boats, which carried out both conventional and suicide attacks that capitalized on Blue's inability to detect them as well as expected. " 

ouch ! 

Well, part of the problem was that a large part of Red's missile boats were being played by small speedboats that would have sunk under the weight of one missile, let alone the four to eight they "carried" in the exercise.  Hence why blue couldn't detect them. 

We were supposed to get 8 of those corvettes, but there's no money (costs got tripled due to ever-changing designs, compared to original German project), neither of them got finished since 2001 when the project was launched and the shipyard which was making them went bankrupt lately.  Our minister of finances is on the record saying "we don't need a navy", and our defence minister is going to review the project in the coming couple weeks. 

Oh well.  Let's get more NSMs.

Updated Canadian Navy
Arctic Patrol ship
all 8 should be finished by 2021

Joint Support and Supply Ship
2 being built, 3 one possible but the Navy is also looking at buying one French Mistral Class instead with the funds

Province Class/ Canadian Surface Combatants Ships
15 in total first ships would be ready by 2021 two types about the same length, "Destroyer Version" would have more command and control devices and more specific weapons systems. " Frigate Version" would have a more mix of weapons for multitasking

I remember reading a very bad Jeffery Archer novel once about a rogue British Sub laying CAPTORs outside Murmansk blowing up two enemy subs and nearly starting WW3.  Clever bit of tech that with many applications. 

Your life is your life don’t let it be clubbed into dank submission. 
Be on the watch there are ways out. 
You can’t beat death but you can beat death in life, sometimes. 
And the more often you learn to do it the more light there will be. 
Your life is your life. 
Know it while you have it. 
The gods wait to delight in you.
