looks nice, but keep in mind that APAR's and SMART-L's are very expensive. in reality, this would most likely not be chosen, but as this is your design, everything is possible.

Granted restricted fiscal realities, mayhaps the RCN would not be able to replace the venerable Tribals and Town-class ships on a ship-for-ship ratio, but rather have to restrict itself to, say half the number, i e six to eight vessels. But I do believe the Canadians, given their flair for independent weapons procurements from the USA, will rather invest i a European system.
Also Prairie Canuck, if I may humbly suggest a few late-in-the-coming ideas how you may keep the cost down: re-use the Town-class' guns as ship after ship is retired. Mind you, if you do that, be sure to
not to retain the rocket-rails! Also a variety of electronics can with advantage be re-used, such as the ECM:s, and do cannibalize the retiring Tribals as well!
As for your overall design, well, I hate to say it, it does lack the sheer elegance of the Tribals or the sleekness of the Towns, but it appears to be a very efficient design enough. I would, though angle the athwardships stacks, so as to minimize exhaust interferrence with the Smart-L array. In addition to the two stabilisators, I'd add a real bilgekeel, the design of which you can experiment with. (It can either be broken up in three separate sections, forward, amidships, and aft of the stabilisators, or a solid one along the amidships' section betwix the stabilisators.
