 Silencing Canada's frigates - Jane's Naval Forces
This system was designed into the Halifax-class frigates because "that technology was state-of-the-art back when we specified the noise requirements for the patrol frigate, back in the seventies", says Muller.
According to Joe Muller, Canadian Patrol Frigate (CPF) Project Manager, "We knew with the first ship (delivered in 1991) that we had a noise issue." The prime contractor for the shipbuilding project, Saint John Shipbuilding Limited (SJSL) of New Brunswick, made some adjustments but the noise problem persisted.
In 1994, the Department of National Defence and the contractor negotiated an Omnibus Amending Agreement, which covered all outstanding work and contract disputes related to the frigate project.
