Not on its own, but would having non-nuclear subs retained in the Anglosphere be a good idea?

How much value, looking at that proximity, is found in having SSKs available for USN/RCN/RCAF to train with, and within NATO/Five Eyes/etc. in other settings?

Yeah, unless you're using it as an information strategy and intend to sucker-punch the target. I'd had a vague hope at least some of the F-16 delay was a lie, for example, and that a suitable moment would be found for a live reveal.

Was thinking of providing support to the not-PAFOs, on top of carrying on the "sell the CAF" and film/video creation work, and having that group separate from the one whose members get to deal with the fallout when S2 Bloggins posts something obnoxious.

Time for a split within the trade? A "promotion and communication facilitator" stream to support (not control, notably) non-PAff people in getting their word (images, videos, whatever) to the world and to handle the non-reactive (or non-crisis, at least) side of things (backgrounders, website...

Could see that impression taking hold given OP IMPACT. Whatever the Auroras were doing there, it wasn't ASW.

Almost feels like the older style of "release" needs to return, as the second step for everything that's not Instragram (would be lovely if they'd give up and allow links in post text...). Get all the material about whatever in the same place, either within the page or one click deep. Might take...

Which suggests a need to present a thousand genuine faces telling their, their unit's, and by extension the CAF's story, in an engaging and relatable way. There's definitely a gaping hole in place of the old mass-distribution internal material. While the CAF app and the online Maple Leaf have...

Would imagine something with a "combatant" armament*, plus AOPS-level icebreaking capability, plus whatever other capabilities are unique to the AOPS, would be on the large and power-hungry side. *Assuming it's Arctic-focused, this would mean - what - an ASW suite sufficiently robust that it'll...

I wonder just how much of the noise from Russia a little while back about officially designating the occupied territories as part of Russia was driven by that sort of internal game.

Beyond the shovel-and-C4 realm, and setting aside airborne units, does that look more or less the same whether it's supporting light, medium, or heavy?

Question: someone mentioned lines of communication. How rough should those vehicles be able to handle? Even in BC, there's a pretty quick, steep dropoff from "paved road" to "the bulldozer followed the goat."

Given the lack of real impact the fine is likely to have, thoughts on why it wasn't straight to cells?

That is probably the second-worst (first is management wanting the vibe of a full office) reason to opt for in-person. If you were pick a compelling reasons in favour of WFH, enormously reducing the entire commuting and workday infrastructure, public and private, is right up there.

Missiles aside, what's the bottleneck? Electronics and sensors?

Copy. Ideal route as in "how the current system is meant to work," or "probably the best way to do it?" And I absolutely meant bait for the hypothetical recruit! Noted. Got it. Wasn't sure if certain singular or small-department shipboard roles were intentionally filled with people who'd...

Certainly. Just batted that out as a very tidy option for bait. Running with the idea of incentives, when does Logistician Bloggins (clerk, met, cook, firefighter, PA, whatever) get their first posting identified, and would there be an easy way to ID and incentivize people in those trades to go...

A more intensive refit cycle in all those spare yards with hundreds of trained tradespeople hanging around, along with a massive (including standing up Crown machining capacity) parts buy/build. Fixing MARTECH and the whole "risk management by assuming the risk" thing, plus flags not...

Since the frigates will be the fleet backbone for some time to come, would there be value in using the two most ragged ones as Fleet School annexes alongside Halifax and Esquimalt?

Where in the defence realm would an immediate influx of $billions be spendable? Go to the Germans or Koreans and put in an paid up front order for Tanks, Many, and all the other tracked things to make a true heavy brigade... Financial incentives wherever they're actually useful for...
