Nice work Mohoender, but you missed some stuff on the Canadian navy post.

1) The Orca-Class patrol vessels were constructed between November 2004 and November 2008. Prior to that Canadian used the Yard Auxiliary, General (YAG) Vessels. Which are:
CFAV Grizzly (YAG 306)
CFAV Cougar (YAG 308)
CFAV Otter (YAG 312)
CFAV Caribou (YAG 314)
CFAV Badger (YAG 319)
CFAV Lynx (YAG 320)
CFAV Pelican (YAG 4)
CFAV Gemini (YAG 650)
CFAV Pegasus (YAG 651)
CFAV Albatross (YAG 660)
CFAV Blackduck (YAG 661)

2) Canada Navy purchased the four Upholders as replacements for their old Oberons in 1998, because the British had put them in storage. I doubt this would be case in Twilight 2000.

3) Kingston-Class Coastal Defence Vessel were built and launched from the mid-to late-1990s, which means using the V1 or V2 timeline, the last three boats, could not be built due to insufficient resources in the aftermath of the nuclear attack. Here is a list the way I see it.
Built 1995 between 1997
HMCS Kingston (MM 700)
HMCS Glace Bay (MM 701)
HMCS Nanaimo (MM 702)
HMCS Edmonton (MM 703)
HMCS Shawinigan (MM 704)

Rushed into Service 1997 between 1998
HMCS Whitehorse (MM 705)
HMCS Yellowknife (MM 706)
HMCS Goose Bay (MM 707)
HMCS Moncton (MM 708)

Planned but not constructed
HMCS Saskatoon (MM 709)
HMCS Brandon (MM 710)
HMCS Summerside (MM 711)

4) The entire Iroquois class underwent major retrofits as a part of the Tribal Class Update and Modernization Project (TRUMP) in the early 1990s. These refits had the effect of re-purposing the ships for area air defence; following TRUMP the Iroquois-Class were referred to as air defence destroyers.

5) By the mid-1990s the St. Laurent, and Mackenzie ships were schedule to be decommissioned and scraped; most require an extensive refit for active service, with the only ship that would not; being the HMCS Fraser; St. Laurent-Class Destroyer Helicopter Escort; because it was used as a testbed in the 1980s for technologies used on the Halifax-Class frigate.

6) In the early 1980s a emergency re-armament plan was devised; in case of a conventional war with the Soviet Union and/or the Warsaw Pact; to convert the Restigouche class destroyers into guided-missile destroyers (DDG). This plan was used during the 1st Gulf War, when the HMCS Terra Nova became the first ever guided-missile destroyer ever to serve in the Canadian Navy.

7) The six remaining Bay-Class minesweepers were re-classed as patrol escorts in 1972 and provided ship handling experience for junior officers with Maritime Forces Pacific.
HMCS Thunder (MCB 153)
HMCS Fundy (MCB 159)
HMCS Chignecto (MCB 160)
HMCS Cowichan (MCB 162)
HMCS Chaleur (MCB 164)
HMCS Miramichi (MCB 163)

8) The HMCS Fortune; a Bay-Class minesweeper; was decommissioned in 1969 and sold into mercantile service. She was refitted as the charter yacht MV Edgewater Fortune and would mostly like be conscripted into services in 1998 or 1999.

9) The Anticosti-Class minesweepers are: HMCS Anticosti (MSA 110) and HMCS Moresby (MSA 112)
