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.  000007617 542__ $$fCC-BY-NC-ND-4.0 000007617 6531_ $$aWork Period 000007617 6531_ $$aSubmarines 000007617 6531_ $$aIndustry Partnership 000007617 7001_ $$aBagga, Commander A$$uOperations Manager FMF Cape Breton, RCN 000007617 7001_ $$aDupuis, T J$$uDeputy Program Manager (Submarines) Seaspan Victoria Shipyards Ltd. 000007617 773__ $$tConference Proceedings of INEC 000007617 773__ $$jINEC 2018 000007617 789__ $$whttps://zenodo.org/record/2450807$$2URL$$eIsIdenticalTo 000007617 85641 $$uhttps://wwwimarest.org/inec$$yConference website 000007617 8564_ $$909d13de0-230c-4e2d-86c1-4fc1945e3706$$s2357889$$uhttps://library.imarest.org/record/7617/files/INEC%202018%20Paper%20072%20Bagga%20FINAL.pdf
