The Province-class destroyer is the name given by naval observers for the expected replacement of the Iroquois-class destroyer that has served the Canadian Forces since 1972.
The replacement vessels would be somewhat larger than the existing Halifax-class frigate and presumably equipped with a new radar system and SM-2 missiles in order to provide a wide-area air defence capability. As the Halifax class are named after Canadian cities, the suggestion was that the replacement for the Iroquois fleet would adopt the names of Canadian provinces, although this has never been confirmed. It is unclear whether this class will ever be constructed; it is thought that a newer class of frigates or destroyers might replace both the Iroquois and Halifax classes under what Maritime Command (MARCOM) has called the Single Class Surface Combatant Project (SCSCP).
Originally the batch-2 Halifax-class ships from HMCS Montreal (FFH 336) on were to have been stretched about 32 feet (9.8 m). It was speculated that the added space between the forward-mounted gun and bridgework were to have housed a small Mk.41 VLS package with SM-2 missiles during the Frigate Life Extension Project (FELEX) mid-life upgrade program.[1] Budget cuts during delivery meant that the batch 2 ships were instead delivered identical to the earlier examples, which means there is no room for any significant upgrade during FELEX.
MARCOM had investigated adopting the European Active Phased Array Radar, leading observers to suggest that APAR and the associated SMART-L would equip the Province-class or upgraded Halifax's during the FELEX project. Upgrades to the existing Halifax-class with such a system would likely be difficult since the APAR requires its own mast and might make the Halifax-class design top-heavy.[2]
The Department of National Defence has not identified a procurement timeframe for the replacement of the Iroquois-class however it has been reported that design work is underway and a project office and personnel have been assigned. The Iroquois-class is currently scheduled for retirement around 2010 after 40 years in service,[3] however it is possible that the remaining vessels might have their service years extended.
