Dofasco pivoted a few years ago and their killer app is specialty steel for cars roll frames. But I too am unsure of what is happening at those places, though in my drive past today I noticed a bunch of massive Canada flags on Dofasco's buildings and cranes. That was new.

Honestly I think US air development is glacial. They have a process which they follow which includes two competing bids and then multiple changes to the project as the USAF keep changing the requirements as it moves along. I think once Japan, UK and Italy nail down the requirements and who...

Love this article. Learned a lot. I really should read TWZ more often, usually they have some good stuff and their references are nice for further reading.

The FRE helicopter call sign has permanently be renamed from STALKER to PHOENIX. I was friends with Abigail. Honestly I think anyone who met her felt like they were friends with her.

Our computing power is astronomical comparatively. We track our own rounds and the system automatically adjusts the fire control solution for us based on their performance. Wind, weather, air pressure, gun heat, muzzle velocity changes, ships pitch, roll, yaw, course, speed and type of round...

Sort term: CPC are neutered. Leader without a seat and an election loss means that the conservatives will do what they always do. Murder their darlings. NDP are neutered and the Libs can make agreements with any party if they are smart. Pushing through a pro-resource extraction and business...

That actually works in our geopolitical favour in a number of ways. US wants continental defence, and they can't provide it up north. The longer they take to sort out their icebreaker situation the better position we are as we'll be more icebreaker heavy, more ice operations, more...

It only applies in the playoffs for Hellebyuk. Regular season has a different report.

The water wars between these two were predicted years ago, but were predicated on global warming. Choosing to start a water war is a very different kettle of fish. I certainly hope that things settle down before the get worse.

Honestly, might be better than what Europe has right now. Sometimes old tech is best tech. Looks like we could make 500 of those a week. One use only. Lmao Love the name Brono-saurus. Classic

Ah but what are the teams you cheer against. I went to a Canuks home opener in 22 (ship was there) just to cheer against the Sabres. Hate them so much (completely irrationally). Of course the Sabres had the last laugh, they won, AND I got COVID at the game. So karma?

Algoma also supplies Seaspan with plate steel, and GDLS Canada. They are the leading armoured plate manufacturer in North America IIRC. So they are hurting from tariffs but not quite the same as other places. No matter who gets the contract Algoma is going to get a piece of the pie. The...

Some numbers when you're talking missiles here... KSS III can have either 6 VLS or 10 VLS depending on the block we get. So we're looking at max 120 missiles as @Oldgateboatdriver pointed out because you're going to buy a full load for 6-8 subs and then have reloads (as 4-6 won't be sailing at...

AFAIK the only missile to be proven to be fired from those VLS is the Hyunmoo 4-4. Which is a SLBM of 500km range. I'm sure they are working on other options.

Can you ref this for me. Can't seem to find it. I didn't think Korea had a sub launched cruise missile system yet.

NDP try that, look where its gotten them.

The CCG reddit is aflame with "If they make us do this job I'll quit, if I wanted to carry a gun I would have joined the stoopid navy". CCG probably would be better doing undersea infrastructure surviellence given the recent spate of damage in the Baltic for example. Seems right up their...

Not just wants, required by the government in the Strong Secure Engaged. It's right in there.

I don't really think the airframe is the problem, the sensor is. I don't know the sensor specs on any of those aircraft unfortunately and that is to me the most important aspect that is different from the other offerings. We know the Wedgetail is designed for long endurance, long ranges and...

I've given Joetey a tour before. He's a gem. Very well read, asks intelligent questions which show's that he's well read on naval topics and extremely personable. Legitimately excited about the RCN.
