      abstract = {HMCS Victoria Repair Work Period was a strategic  partnership between a naval repair facility and an industry  partner fostering ground up cultural change and pushing the  limits of integration at the waterfront. Many  traditionalists might argue that partnering with industry  via in-service-support (ISS) contracts is a precursor to  rendering naval maintenance facilities redundant, thus  accelerating their obsolescence. However, the HMCS Victoria  Repair Work Period (VIC RWP) in the Royal Canadian  Navy’s (RCN) dry dock in Esquimalt, BC presented a  unique opportunity to further a philosophy predicated on an  integrated and synergetic approach. A vast work scope,  complex submarine design, supply chain issues exacerbated  by specialized labour shortages, spurred a change to a long  standing approach to submarine maintenance, namely with a  Request for Proposal for integrated support resulting in a  long-term partnership aimed at achieving the operational  requirements of the RCN. },
