Plowing into a another ship carrying aviation fuel at 16knots, while you are carrying dangerous chemicals, I don't find it surprising.

Built in 1977, likley a thru hull failed and there were no working/monitored alarms. Always remember a boat/vessel natural state is resting on the bottom, rotting away, anything else is an artificially maintained state requiring time, money and effort.

Some aerial footage of the mess. I still think Fatigue or just gross negligence.

Something that no one else buys, no parts are made in Canada and any parts as part of the contract are at 25% of what is needed. Also the company building them goes under and the IP and Licences are locked up in a legal dispute for 10 years.

You and I have disagreed on this point before, Canada needs to support local industry and Roshel builds vehicles that will replace a lot of the vehicle we had and need. Canada can't afford to buy or maintain a fleet of LAV's for the Reserves. Roshel offers something that can be easily maintained...

apparently the crews in the area get overworked and fatigue might be a major factor, or just completely distracted. So either gross negligence or fatigue.

French Navy Suffren-class (Barracuda-) nuclear-powered attack submarine has entered Halifax harbour. Apparently they are going to conduct cold weather tests on the class.

JD Vance's cousin reflects on his time fighting for Ukraine and does not have kind words about his cousin

How to build morale and retention.........

Canada was doing AUV's long before it was the cool toy on the block. I used to have to dodge them while being tested in Indian Arm. Most were diesel powered with a snorkel as battery packs were not up to the task. I also supported the SFU Underwater Research lab who's students were working on...

I explain to people is that over inflated price includes the toilet paper the crew will use fro the life of the vessel, then they start to get it.

Apparently you guys are broke as well, will we see the guard at the national cemetery cut as well?

Meanwhile also in Syria, the Kurds are formally joining the party

It was common for us to drive to Yakima and back (410km each way) in our Deuces with the guns on tow for a weekend of shooting.

Someone making a model already

I suspect their counting of operational 105mm's is rather optimistic.

Transmitting information while submerged is tricky business, I see manned and unmanned underwater systems as complimentary, not an either or situation. Most submerged UAV's will be doing data gathering , popping to the surface/close to the surface to transmit. The manned sub will be the shoot/no...

As I understand it, in civil court the bar on evidence is much higher. There does not seem to be a dispute about them being found with it, just the methodology? You can sue for likley causing damage to the city based on the cost of dealing with the drug and the attending issue.
