The Joint Support Ship Project is a Government of Canada procurement project for the Royal Canadian Navy (RCN) that is part of the National Shipbuilding Procurement Strategy. It will see the RCN acquire 2-3 multi-role vessels to replace the 2 Protecteur class auxiliary oiler replenishment (AOR) vessels currently operated by the RCN. On June 2, 2013, it was announced that ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems Canada's Berlin Class AOR was selected as the design for the Joint Support Ship Project.
