MS Asterix
MS Asterix (formerly MS Amorito, MS Neermoor and MS Cynthia) is a commercial containership purchased by Project Resolve Inc. and may be converted into a supply ship for the Royal Canadian Navy to act as an interim replacement between the out of service Protecteur-class replenishment oilers and the future Queenston-class auxiliary vessels. Launched in Germany in 2010, the ship is being converted with planned delivery to the RCN around 2017 when it will be leased to the navy with a merchant navy crew. Asterix will be in Canadian service into the 2020s.
