Please forgive if some words i have chosen. They’re the best i could come up with on short notice.

Like i said, I’m skeptical of a helicopter being able to drop torpedoes onto to a very moving target safely no matter where the helicopter came from. The frigate would have to leave the area. And unlike lopsided like the first gulf war where you ca leave the battle area for a while and come...

I guess I’m not clear: A number of poeple a few pages ago that ESSM and SM2 on Asterix. My point is that would be a horrible idea. If you’re going to carry them in a non existing magazine, where are you going to put them. Because the poster who advocated put munitions in special containers...

The people who enable It. Davie the Navy and Her Majesty’s Government. It was a jolly time when war was over and the order of all governments going back to at least 1993 we needed to reduce taxes (boost consumer spending) was the order of the day. People loved it. I’m not sure the most...

Rounds for the all up round.

I know almost nothing about shells and there charges. It may be totally safe. But what I’m referring is that being in a magazine saved that German ship.

If you’re at all unconvinced about the need for a proper magazine, this is what happened when a magazine works: a MK41 vls.

It would be reckless to carry missiles and shells outside a magazine. I’d be stunned that a master would let that happened. If one goes off in a 40ft container, hopefully it is stack on more 40ft containers Or boom. I don’t know about mk54 carriage, But if we need more LWT two things have...

I’m not going to repost mine and others post on army.ca. That would be poor form, might get me banned for a while, and it might create a black hole. Do what people do: read up the sub-forum. This last one, where people came down about ammunition, was the first time i used fanboy. It’s like a...

What post?

MV Asterix; she’s at least better than nothing. 👍

When the first person came in here trying to trump the benefits of Asterix as better or even compatible than the JSS for I thought it was weird because it was untrue. Whoever posted the fifth or sixth comparison: this time with ammunition, it is fanboyism. There is no competing builder for...

I was going to run my mouth again but I’ll say this. Frist, f@^king fanboys would lead casual army.ca visitors to believe Asterix as the best and only ship for the Navy. That is absolutely unequivocally untrue. Army.ca is entertainment but also educational. For something to be educational it...

I should calm down. II’ve already had one stroke.

https://www.lookoutnewspaper.com/nru-asterix-helps-warships-flex-naval-might/ Everything I’ve read says the Navy won’t use it for the carriage of ammunition. I’ve got a major, multi-day aphasia attack preventing me from properly naming the bunker that is at the bow of the JSS design, but is not...

I’m out.

FYI, the more modern reaper is the MQ-9B. https://www.ga-asi.com/remotely-piloted-aircraft/mq-9b This is the version that will be used by our allies and the front runner for our RPAS program...

I won’t release information directly about my former employer, but 3rd class eengineers (entry level officer) can make waaayyyyy more than $40/Day. I can’t speak Federal Fleets rates.

Actually employment costs at $40 earned can, depend go from &60 to $80. Also $40 per hour would be a very low wage. So average $60x1.5x2000x36 for federal fleet. PLus Canadian Navy, plus fuel (she was docked at Esquimalt so I guess full FMFC) and it will be sent in for dep maintenance in a few...

I must add that a person in the know upward in the forum said that the yearly cost to RCN is $700M. That would give it a 30 year of 21B. Another reason HMCG doesn’t like Davie: Federal Fleet price fixing.
