About 4 years ago I was speaking to someone at U of T receivables office and they counted on foreign students (mostly Chinese) to bring in 50k per year. They are always adding more residences. It is being operated as a for profit corporation.

Excuse my ignorance, but what is a petrel and chimo? I thought the Sikorsky CH148 was named Cyclone and the Augusta CH149 was named Cormorant? I understand that the some VH71 Kestrel are being converted to Cormorants.

Don’t even think about changing a thing on the River class. Banish that thought. We don’t need to give Irving and Lochmart any excuse to drag out delivery or raise the cost (it’s already eye watering).

CUSMA is the only thing stopping Trump from targeting all Canadian and Mexican products. It would be gone in an instant if it didn’t have tRump’s name on it.

I thought the Taliban preferred Toyota Hilux ? Fords are preferred by American “militias”

I think the 21 was the first calculator with a function key. In high school, some of us were in awe of our Algebra teachers’ HP21. Sad to say, it was years before any teacher allowed a scientific calculator in class.

Years ago, GABLER Naval was trying to generate interest in their hoistable mast launcher for IDAS.

Not us. The Brit’s offered them to Australia. Aussies sent a team over to UK to inspect. And then turned them down and then built Collins. Chretian hummed and hawed because he didn’t want to spend a dime on CAF. I’m guessing it was take em or no more subs for you. And we’ve been struggling ever...

The Aussie’s refused them already, not sure why they would want something that we are having such a challenge with.

Grok is not an engineering tool. It is simply an advanced word processor that strings phrases together. The silly idea that to eliminate the VLS feature by sealing them or removing them after manufacturing is beyond logic. If you don’t want the VLS feature then don’t put it in at time of...

A well equipped military will have plenty of stuff you hope you’ll never use. That is a deterrent to your enemies. Our Vics have torpedos that we have never needed to use in anger, yet we stock them.

This looks to be suitable only in fair weather. Do we have or are buying an all weather solution? War isn’t going to wait for a nice day.

Grok is a crock

If SK is developing a naval launch cruise missile then the VLS might be a preferred launch method rather than taking up space in the torpedo racks.
