Replacing the Subs

[Underway]

If all of our projects come to fruition, we will have one of the top 5 combat fleets in NATO. Ahead of the UK, thats insane to think about

Haven't even calculated the Corvette, arctic LHD, UXV's discussions into that either. On paper its looking good.

This project is moving so fast for its cost its kinda crazy. It was less than 4 years ago it actually was funded. It will probably be awarded this time 2026. Which is two years ahead of what the initial plan was. Insane (in a good way).

Is that not a pretty clear statement on the state of the world today, and the potential threats we may face?

I think it’s also a reflection of the sad state of CAF’s equipment, manpower (people power, nah) levels and preparedness

On here I've only read Halifax Tar speak directly about serving with him previously and he's comments were positive.

Has others on here who have served directly with him said otherwise?

I have. I agree with Halifax Tar. I was his CERA on ALG for 18 months. He was a mission-focused go-getter with no tolerance for bullshit. He had a lot of time for the MSE department, more so than any other CO I’ve served under. As a department, we had a ‘splice the main brace’ under him at least twice on RIMPAC 2010 followed by a SOUTHPLOY. Then again, we earned it on that trip. We saved the deployment (his words to me directly alongside in Guatemala, but we were both a bit tipsy).

As to ‘not getting Army’ he had an Afghan tour prior to going to Cheyenne Mountain.
