In the immortal words of Montgomery Scott, "The more they overthink the plumbing, the easier it is to stop up the drain."

As of August 2015, with the loss of command-and-control and resupply capabilities, the RCN is classified as a Rank 5 navy (offshore regional coastal defence) on the Todd-Lindberg classification system of naval strength, dropping from Rank 3 (multiregional power projection) in 2005.

On September 19, 2014, the Navy announced the decommissioning of its two resupply ships (HMCS Protecteur and HMCS Preserver), along with two destroyers (HMCS Algonquin and HMCS Iroquois). This leaves the Navy with a single destroyer, HMCS Athabaskan, which has been plagued with engine problems, suffering multiple failures during while transiting the Atlantic Ocean, first in February 2015, then again in October.
