Eight Type 45-derived destroyers for Canada

What if Canada replaced the Iroquois class with eight destroyers based on the largest Type 45 hull design?

Canada would have a much stronger navy, with a Red Sea deployment considered likely in the December 2023 scenario.

The counterfactual gives Canada eight large Type 45-derived destroyers in place of the Iroquois class. The answer expects a substantial increase in Canadian naval strength. In the circumstances of December 2023, it also expects a deployment to the Red Sea. This is a hypothetical fleet and deployment.
