Newf,
I am intimately aware of how the shipbuilding process is accomplished at the Irving ship yard. I didn't think I needed to specify the exact drydock when it was painfully obvious we were discussing the Halifax ship yard. They don't build vessels at the dry dock here. Its the way it is. - Cape Breton Bruins
A handful of new-build contracts for oil rig supply vessels, a cruise ship, as well as repair and maintenance contracts for Royal Canadian Navy warships and Canadian Coast Guard icebreakers and scientific vessels, public and privately owned ferries, commercial ships, and oil rigs has kept Halifax Shipyard Limited moderately busy in recent years.
In September 2009 Irving Shipbuilding was awarded a contract to build the Hero-class patrol vessel project for the Canadian Coast Guard. These 9 vessels are scheduled to be delivered by 2014-2015.
During World War II, the company's facilities were critical to the war effort as Halifax Shipyards Limited constructed 4 Tribal class destroyers for the Royal Canadian Navy - the first all-Canadian built destroyers.
Under Hawker Siddeley ownership, the company began to diversify its contracts in the 1960s and 1970s, constructing ferries and other government contracts, as well as oil drilling rigs and drill ships for Atlantic Canada's nascent offshore oil and gas industry.
The floating dry dock Prins Hendrik Dok No. 4, built in Rotterdam in 1933 was purchased and rebuilt by the shipyard in 1979. It was renamed Scotiadock and complemented the existing graving dock for ship repair and construction

strickly restoration and repair. - Cape Breton Bruins
And the information stating otherwise in that article, including the dates in history and the kinds of boats they build and for whom, somehow it doesn't sink through the first 6 inches of your Cro-Magnon cranium because, you don't like to be wrong? Or because you are embarrassed because you were wrong? Look man, i gave you an out two pages ago, but you were too (frank)ing "dum" to take it....

Listen to yourself newf. Read what you just wrote, which you presented as a source of pride, and rethink your entire life up until this point. - Cape Breton Bruins
