If you recall the story about the state of readiness of the Moskova when she was hit and sunk, the number of major OPDEF level problems on that ship were huge...I'll see if I can dig up the link. Found a Reddit reference:

Interestingly, there's a guy in the US that is soon to be releasing 3D print files for a Zumwalt....he sent me the 1/192 scale version to help him trouble-shoot the prints.

On 30 October, I'll be actioning my responsibilities to ensure I maintain compliance, and following Section 107 of the firearms act. NS

Looks a bit like a sun dial... How about "Sun Don't Shine Dial"

Interestingly, I have not received an email. There it was in the spam folder...

I'll point at the "Combat Tanker" stories from the Gulf War....and yes, we have put non warships into warship roles.

Superstructure is off the printer....and a new version of it is on. :-) I love using 3D printing to rapid prototype things!

OK, here's a 1/288 scale hull printed as a test object for the R/C version. You can may be able to see the integrated motor mounts. I've also made full up bulkheads in 2 spots as well to separate the ship for some semblance of water resistance should there be any ingress into the hull. Full...

Installing the 57mm on the foc'sle of the AOPS with a through deck penetrating magazine feed mechanism would require a lot of work. However. If you give up the loading system, and are willing to go with just 121 rounds in the mount, loaded manually from the rear door...you can have a surface...

Did a 1-288 scale test print today - looks OK, so, I've started a 2.5 day print and will let it run for the weekend.... Monday I'll have a new hull to work with.

All guns are deadly. For a number of years in the US, the most 'deadly' caliber - the one which caused the most deaths, was actually .22 LR. I think that has now been surpassed by 9mm. That said, a focus on the caliber, or the type really loses focus on the actual cause of things. A car...

Question - were we smart enough to put the spare parts/storage/warehouse facility for AEGIS spares and parts over there, or are is the RCN going to try and manage those (potentially special handling required) parts through the regular supply chain. I may have asked this question a couple of...

RCN Command Chief now has a 3.5 foot model of HMCS MacKenzie to get home to Ottawa with. :-) Let CRCN be jealous. :-)

Not registering has zero implication except for a lack of payment options under the 'buyback'. At least until 31 Oct when the Amnesty runs out. If you don't register, you can't be part of the buyback. That's it. If you don't do anything with things you may own that have become prohibited...

The attached images are quite pertinent. There is an amnesty in place until 31 Oct. It is legal IAW Section 106(1) to destroy your firearm so long as you 'with reasonable dispatch' report the destruction to a peace officer, firearms officer, or chief firearms officer. I will not speak for...
