I haven't heard anything specific WRT the Orcas in quite some time. With that in mind, working within the MOG 4 formation as a whole I would think someone would have mentioned something. Notwithstanding, I can see them actually making 12 since they can't possibly meet the objective (MARS IV)...

This is untrue. If you look at "national" message traffic for half masting it says: This direction does not apply to ships at sea The Manual of Ceremony is very clear on this - Ships at sea do NOT half mast. Full Stop

Tsk tsk... didn't realize things were so quiet on WHI these days LOL See you in Portland!

Looking back at my experience in Halifax... the airport there is PERFECT for this sort of thing. It's VERY far from the city proper, so even if it was ditched prior to arrival, or even on the runway, little collateral damage would occur. While I'm not discounting the fuel factor, I think Halifax...

For anyone interested... The tailor shop co-located with CANEX in Esquimalt is selling naval mess kit for 500.00 (I think that was the price).

This is all open source The 511 side scan sonar is capable of operating in upto 200m of water... so 600' fits right in there. The sonar on the 511 is generally considered one of the best on the market as far as detail goes... the exact detail level is classified, however it's comparable to...

47 includes the accomodations pod and assumes one person sleeping in the CO's cabin. With a pod you'll generally sail with 46... without the pod... 40 A Little clarification - there are only 3 Core crew NAVCOMMS, including the SNAC, the fourth billet is only funded by MARPAC/MARLANT for one...

MCDV's are crewed by 31 people on Class C at a minimum. Most of those contracts are over 1 year, and generally 2-3 years. If people dont "show up" they are simply run and replaced. Unfit sea, however, is a different story, but I've had enough beer to make me think discussing that now would prove...

I'll give you an example of an average year for an average west coast MCDV. There are only 5 of the ships in routine at any given time... so here we go: 1 Jan - 7 Jan Leave Period 8 Jan -10 Feb MARS IV Consolidation/NRD/OJT - Local Area Deployment (Olympia, WA - Port Hardy, BC) 11 Feb-1 Apr...

When I was in Quebec City I spoke with CFFS(Q)'s Intel training guy LT(N) Stead, and apparently (at the time) all reserve int officers will have to attend the BIOC before getting fully qualified... kind of like getting you D-Level for a MARS officer. Whether that panned out or not... hard to...
