Another interesting result is that Halifax could be the de facto shipbuilding centre remaining for Canada. I think this is pretty reasonable from a national perspective since the shipyard did well even without government contracts, while the Davie yards (for example) are barely solvent. Halifax has the offshore, navy, and shipping. No other city has all 3 of those.

It makes a lot of sense economically to centralize and have a major facility capable of taking on large projects rather than a bunch of small yards that are always struggling.
