		OTTAWA - The Canadian Forces are recommending getting rid of ships, surveillance aircraft and up to 25 per cent of its fleet of Griffon utility helicopters to help pay for new equipment in the future, according to the Conservative government's defence strategy obtained by the Ottawa Citizen.
		The cuts would include six Aurora maritime patrol aircraft, one destroyer and the navy's two aging refuelling and resupply ships.
		The elimination of the resupply vessels would mean the navy would face at least a two-year period where it would not have its own means to refuel vessels at sea.
