General Purpose Frigate was cancelled under this Canadian scholar, statesman, soldier and diplomat, who won the Nobel Peace Prize in what year?
General Purpose Frigate (Canada) The General Purpose Frigate, or GPF, was a procurement project for the Royal Canadian Navy during the Cold War. The class was also known as the Tribal-class frigate. Intended as a replacement for the Second World War-era destroyers in service at the time, the frigate design was developed for the Progressive Conservative Diefenbaker government in the late 1950s as part of the general fleet renewal program. The GPF program was cancelled under the Liberal Pearson government as part of their plan to reshape the Canadian Armed Forces. Following the cancellation, a modified version of the design was used for the "Iroquois"-class destroyer s.
