HMCS Brandon MM-710
Kingston-class Coastal Patrol Vessel of Royal Canadian Navy.
The Kingston-class patrol vessels were conceived to advance the use of commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) equipment and construction techniques in a ship designed to military specifications.
Modular payload
Kingston class vessels are designed to carry up to three 20-foot (6.1 m) ISO containers with power hookups on the open deck aft in order to embark mission-specific payloads-- much like the LCS class of ships of the US Navy.
As of 2009, the available modules included:
Indal Technologies AN/SLQ 38 deep mechanical minesweeping systems
MDA Ltd. AN/SQS 511 heavy-weight high-definition route survey systems
ISE Ltd. Trailblazer 25 bottom object inspection vehicle
ISE Ltd. HYSUB 50 deep seabed intervention system
Fullerton and Sherwood Ltd. 6-man, 2-compartment containerized diving systems
Naval engineered 6-person accommodation modules
MDA Ltd. Interim Remote Minehunting and Disposal System
Note that each ship can only carry 3 of the container s at a time.
