Why do we have two Armies?

For the love of the Lord of 12 gauge shotguns, please do not allow Loblaws to import unhusked corn (or any food, really) from India:

I’m pretty sure IBM tried to kill as many people as possible with PC DOS to OS Warp upgrade downloads in the late 90’s.

As far as I’m concerned building a ship that doesn’t survive contact and a good ass kicking from the enemy is not a ship that we want. In the next war our ships will almost certainly take multiple hits in every meeting engagement. And we’ll dish it out as well.

Best we can do is a pair of cracked 4 pounders.

Show some love for 2 new 76mm Super Rapid mounts in A and B position on Iver Huitfeldt. Looks like a proper warship...

What a Fine looking ship... https://www.navylookout.com/first-type-31-frigate-hms-venturer-rolled-out-from-the-build-hall-in-rosyth/ edit: seems as soon as this ship is finished at BAE, it will heading straight to the Babcock yard for the MK 41 insertions (4x8). That contract was only added...

Sounds like Swan Lake (NW of Edmonton) is under evacuation order due to approaching wildfire. Google Earth shows the city has a good wild fire break/perimeter. Hopefully it serves its purpose well.

Amateurs …

There’s an inference in that article that at the end of the “season” or “window”, the fuel has to be removed from the tanks. There’s are quite a few companies operating in the North/Far North and Arctic that are not experiencing these problems. What are they doing that the RCN/ CAF is not? Does...

Certainly not if there’s going to be casualties.

You can park it on a downhill slope and wash the swear words out of it …

They didn’t …. Omg they did.

Totally relatable…

Seen and this is good thinking. How to fit helo decks, fuel stores and accommodation for transit though. And support ships to sustain the effort. The 2 JSS will be run off their feet as it is. Crew arrangements- like an RFA? Release the ship to the civi side when not being used by CAF. The...
