Yes, 1 is going to replace the Coquitlam or Cowichan, then the replaced C class vessel will go join Super C no.3 on Route 1. Then there will be 4 vessels on Route 2 (Oak Bay, Coq or Cow, Super c's one and 2) The Super Cs are replacing the V Class 1 for 1, so there won't be an increase in vessels on any given route unless they hold onto a V. |

Holy smokes, that caused a bit of disruption! Obviously the radio station didn't know which ferries the Super C's are actually going to be replacing.

Yes and the Coquitlam will remain at Langdale, and Cowichan will likely be a secondary out of Langdale. It will probably do secondary service on the Nanaimo route as well. It would be interesting if they did a triangle route so they could have select sailings from Langdale-Departure Bay.

In regards to spanish names... there is the Queen of Alberni, which is a Spanish Name... also one ship used to (way back when, I think it is one of the 16 car ones) be called the Cortes Queen
