I wonder if the S Korean's can or will adapt the VLS to UUCV launches?

Topshee is the best salesman the RCN has had in our lifetime. Not afraid to speak truth to power or educate the taxpayer .

Shhhhhh!!!

Too true, its an interesting perspective while crossing The MacDonald Bridge over to Halifax , with the Irving Shoreside expansion underway. We should extend that project and build a 1200 ft long Drydock to the South of the Irving seawall. That would replicate the Esquimalt Drydock capabilities...

Or maybe U.S. laws are more punishing for Drug criminals apprehended by the U.S.C.G.?

Congrats folks for those still in, long overdue in my view. Here is a question. Do you guys think this will spur some re sign ups?

So I imagine a PM could rewrite what ever contract he wants to. Carny should work some DND Friday's and just get stuff done.

I truly wonder why the Government doesn't just scales up the choices that have already been made. Confirm the two extra P-8'S. In for 14 already so.... Spikes, Carl G's, and RBS-70's in Army wide quantity. Not an American in the bunch. Go ahead , finally, with General Eyre's ammunition plan...

There is something wonky going on with the Conservatives. I was recently contacted to contribute to the Conservatives but I asked apparently an awkward question. I stated that Katy Telford and Gerry Butts delivered four Liberal Governments and left. Jenny Byrne lost four elections but is still...

I mentioned that facility because Jim Irving still owns it and no the only thing filling the drydock is water. No doubt some TLC would be needed but the main assembly hall is where the wallboard is made and there is plenty of yard space around the former ship building . If need be I am sure the...

YOO HOO, Saint John Drydock waves frantically.

Bang On Halifax. I have customers all over NS and I have asked some of them if they have added or turned in their weapons. ALL have added. There is a definite feeling of being on their own if stuff happens. The Burnside Bunker however hums' along with over 500 RCMP stationed there. Rural NS...

It is apparently in Hamburg getting the VVIP parts installed.

I can see the CCG offering incentives for security patrols and eventual procurement of say Webber class patrol craft over time. The Coast Guard has been known to do different things. In my best Forest Gump voice "It's just another thing"

Hopefully the Ice Breaker idea morphs into say an ice belted Karl Doorman class. Something the Navy (maybe the RCAF as well) can find a use for and some dog and Pony stuff up to an Ice edge. Fly off some Chinooks with BV-206's dangling for the camera's and the Whitehouse see's us doing something.
