I can envision a class of 15 Total hulls with 9 in this full military configuration and 6 for the Coast Guard. Fitted for but not with. That would at least give Coast Guard Officers familiarity with a Continental security mission and should things really bonk extra hulls to boost Convoy numbers.

I wonder how much would need to be done to Argentia in Newfoundland, Its a busy port in a somewhat sheltered part of the Gulf osf St Lawrence and the Yanks of WW 2 picked it for a reason.Submarines, the Coast Guard AOPS and some Corvettes? Call it the North Atlantic Squadron. I hear a tune...

Interesting observation as my Son had some interesting stories here in Halifax after his tours . It seems the PLF sent many non commissioned to the Sandbox but very few of the Professional Student Officer's went. LOTS of tension and far less discipline or respect from the guys that went towards...

It was actually the end of the construction crane boom above the burning building. Remarkable feat of nerves, patience and talent.

That's interesting as Nova Scotia now provides the patient transfer service through their Helicopters and Fixed wing leased fleet .

There are very few Condo's in Halifax and all the new buildings by Stad are rentals

I could see some creative solutions now that bags of money are around. There are at least four new apartment buildings under construction or recently finished literally across the street from Stad's front gate. I think at least 350-400 combined units and even one named the Admiralty.

And just like that project creep has started. I'll take a gross.

That last line sounds like the AW 101 Merlin might have a new customer. After the 121 other priorities are filled.

Latvian reinforcement for one as I don't see Canada walking away from that commitment any time soon. It could lead to perhaps Arctic experimentation as the present fleet is Ice Strengthened. Send a Reserve Engineer unit North on Summer to see just how hard it is to do things but build Capacity...

Well here is a maybe far off strategic Idea that would satisfy a number of the Government's new found interest in Real Canadian capabilities and does it in the old fashioned cheap Canadian way. The Feds should purchase a fifth Marine Atlantic Ferry as a hot surplus 2600 lane meter capability...

Jamaican disaster assistance raises it mangled arm.

Is there rumours or plans to buy more Herc's after the H fleet gets retired?

That might depend on how seriously crew members get sick.

It might even kill March madness, ... Nah what was I thinking.
