Could Canada or Australia join Type 83?

What are the chances that Canada or Australia joins the Type 83 program?

Canada is likely to treat its large Type 26 fleet as the ceiling, while Australia may consider Type 83 when the Hobart class needs replacement.

Canada's Type 26 derivative is already a large, heavy frigate intended to cover much of the fleet's high-end surface requirement. That makes a second, larger Type 83 class less likely for the Royal Canadian Navy. Australia's timing is different because the Hobart class may approach replacement as Type 83 matures. Canberra could therefore examine Type 83, a future American destroyer, or another design depending on shipbuilding and submarine-program relationships.
