The $60-billion effort to build new warships for Canada's navy has hit another snag, this time in the form of a legal challenge by one of three companies in the competition to design the vessels.
Canada's Liberal government announced last month that U.S. defense giant Lockheed Martin beat out two rivals in the long and extremely sensitive competition to design replacements for the navy's frigates and destroyers.
But one of the other two bidders, Alion Science and Technology, has asked the Federal Court to quash the government's decision, saying Lockheed's design did not meet the navy's stated requirements and should have been disqualified.
