February 15, 2008 -- Vice-Admiral Drew Robertson said Friday he expects HMCS Victoria, HMCS Cornerbrook and HMCS Windsor to be in service "over the coming year, year and a half... sailing simultaneously."
There was a fire aboard HMCS Chicoutimi in October 2004 as it sailed from Britain to Canada. Lt. Chris Saunders of Halifax died as a result of the blaze.
Robertson indicated the vessel still won't be repaired for another two years.
