A facility that can make 25mm rounds can be rejigged to 30-40mm fairly quickly, or better yet, have a new line opened to provide both. The training, safety and QC portions of the business will be the same.

Because that course of action is working out well for the USN

Get KSA to help the Yemen government to do Bite and hold along to coast. Improve roads and infrastructure as they go. Slowly push the Houthi back into the mountains, spend money to bribe tribes to switch sides and keep paying them. Without access to the coast, the Houthi will gradually lose...

Not really KS-III Batch 2 have 3 currently sailing and is in production. Also equipped with VLS I think France should have after the cancellation of the Aussie contract, built one Shortfin as a training vessel and technology demonstrator. The international sub market is lucrative enough to...

I like to see the Non-US NATO countries setup a requirement for NATO countries to organize their Reserves to be able to be called up in short order and to have equipment for X amount at all times. Basically forcing Canada to change it's laws to allow the call up of Reservists and to actually...

Totally forgot about these. Thank you. 600DWT smaller but very similar to the Bartlett, sort of like the old Sir James Douglas which was 564ton

500 million is your average Liberal promise......

Yea shocked we are not.....

To the untrained eye, the open water does not look hard to navigate, but those growlers are dangerous and made up of multiyear ice.

The key to twinning a highway is to work on the most traffic troublesome sections first, even if it is a short few kilometres to add a passing lane on a hill. That helps traffic flow for smaller costs. Then spread out contracts to twin the easy sections to do, so companies know they get yearly...

As I recall attempts at building boutique mills catering to specialized clients, was not supported by the MOF or the rest of government, seems government prefers to deal with a few big players, then lot's of small players.

Certainly damming by faint praise by their own Alumni.
