Question

How would Canada modify Type 83 for cruiser and Arctic roles?

Short answer

Increase VLS capacity and strengthen the hull for ice beyond the British baseline.

Notes

The suggested Canadian version would carry as many vertical-launch cells as practical. It would probably also receive more hull strengthening for ice than the British design.
