We have ambitious people: They're in Ottawa and their ambition is to stay there and climb the staff/administration ladder with their civil service counterparts. ;)

My mistake. I meant to say white supremacist. Agree with that hate comes in many forms. Surprised you didn’t mention two other forms I have experienced: anti-French and anti-Quebecers.

Absolutely!

Sure. Right-wing supremacists ought to be driven out of the military. Their point of view and attitude are contrary to our values and our mission statement and very unlikely to be "corrected" by anything the military would try to rehabilitate them. So, for them, disciplinary proceedings if...

Not even if you were the "Spare" going to a costumed party. Yes. But the consequences for young soldier being dumb in what ought to be private circumstances does not call for punishment or administrative consequences on the level that should be meted to actual right wing supremacists. P.S.: I...

Queen Elizabeth I: [Speaking of Edmund:] Well then he's vanished. Simply vanished. Lord Percy Percy: Like an old oak table. Queen Elizabeth I: Vanished, Lord Percy, not varnished.

When is the retirement party?

We are not seizing drugs in the Persian gulf because we are going after drug runners. We are seizing them as a by-product of anti-terrorism and anti-piracy operations carried out under United Nations mandate. If the RCN happens to find drugs, they seize it to de-fund terrorist organizations. You...

Actually, died with the IRO's https://readyayeready.com/jackspeak/termview.php?id=79

Just noticed you also asked that question. The short answer is we got that from the British, but why is it used even by them (maybe not so much nowadays)? The two main explanations I've hard of is (1) it honours the feat of HMS Falcon, a 372 tons gunboat that was decommissioned in 1941 in...

Going from one ocean with shipyards to another ocean with shipyards, at huge cost, and only for small vessels.

On the HAL's, the main passageway (happy, Underway?) of each ship bears the name of a famous street of the namesake city. MONTREAL has St-Catherine street, TORONTO has Yonge, WINNIPEG has Portage, etc. etc. Yes, they screwed up the Montreal one: anyone who knows the city knows they should have...

Actually got my own answer - thank you Admiralty manual of Seamanship, vol. 1. One deck is the first continuous deck of a ship (no ref to enclosed). So, obviously, in the St-Laurent's, the after upper deck was not on the same level as the foc'sole, because of the half deck, so "Burma Road" was...

Did they change the numbering convention with the Halifax's, Navy Pete? I seem to recall that in the days of the steamers, 1 deck was the first continuous enclosed deck, which was "Burma Road". The upper deck was 01 deck and the bridge 02, except on the IRO's where, having a three deck...

Come on, Colin! You know it's not the same. Liemba's hull was riveted and she was propelled by a small steam engine and boiler power plant. All things that are easy to disassemble. You just needed riveters and steam plant maintainers at the other hand to put her back together. Just won't work...

Little correction on my own point: Now that I got a better look at them, it was F-22 Raptors. Still ...

Maybe I am just paranoid (but am I paranoid enough?), but I suspect that, even though we didn't see them, to foster amity , Trump let the Russians bring their own film crew and all. Then, he parades Putin right in front of some F-35's loaded with TS gear, none of which (other than the engine...

Yes, It's called "stores".

If you hit a pothole and break part of the suspension of your Toyota, do you blame Toyota? The sea is one big pothole after another: things, particularly machinery and upper decks gear, breaks. As the Chief said above, nothing to see here.
