Agreed.  If the RCAF wants a single airframe that can do both reconnaissance and attack missions, they should go for the MQ-9 Reaper.  The Americans use it in border security and it's already perked some interest with the RCAF; it actually has the proposed designation of CU-163.

Looks good.  :nod:

A quick question:  What is the reason for the fact that pilots have to be officers?  There have been times in the past when NCMs have been allowed to get their wings and fly.  And given the current pilot shortage, wouldn't this serve as a way to maintain and enhance current operational...

Is there a proposed design anywhere?

Since we're now talking about the amphibious carriers that the Australians have, how about getting an Izumo-class DDH/CVH or two to act as flagships of both fleets?  Crew manning for the ship itself is about the same as any Iroquois-class DDH and if we get them with the modifications to fly...

Let it be done this way: P FFG-342 HMCS ONTARIO A FFG-343 NCSM QUÉBEC A FFG-344 NCSM NEW BRUNSWICK A FFG-345 HMCS NOVA SCOTIA P FFG-346 NCSM MANITOBA P FFG-347 HMCS BRITISH COLUMBIA A FFG-348 HMCS PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND P FFG-349 HMCS ALBERTA P FFG-350 HMCS SASKATCHEWAN A FFG-351 HMCS...

Ah, yes, the REMFs need to have even MORE influence on normal soldiers' lives.  Forgot all about that...!

Imagine what the cost would be if they elected to get LOW-VISIBILITY brigade patches for CADPAT like the Americans do it. How much would THAT cost?

So which squadron will fly them?  Or is a new squadron standing up?

The badge is definitely an eye-catcher.

Okay, according to the Record, she still hasn't been christened yet.  Any news concerning that ceremony? https://www.therecord.com/news-story/8903517-future-hmcs-harry-dewolf-meets-water/

Ah, gotcha!

Yeah, it would be clumsy. Does anyone have any pics of the crest?  I can't find them anywhere.

Sweet!  Do they have her ship's crest designed as of yet?

Sweet!  Hopefully, they'll be ahead of schedule this time!

It's long ingrained... Attended Robert Land Academy in Wellandport ON (which hosted 2968 Army Cadet Corps) from 1980-84.  Joined the Lincoln and Welland Regiment as an ADM CLK 831 in 1985 and served there for the rest of my Grade 13, plus attended the summer MILCON in Petawawa.  Went into the...

:rofl: :rofl: Doubt I could publish something like that!

Thanks for making that clear to me.  Needed to know that for a fanfic story I'm writing.

One quick question (and apologies for starting up this chat again):  Will officers entitled to wear the CANSOFCOM DEU that came from RCAF or RCN be allowed to wear their old environmental rank insignia (pearl-grey for RCAF, black-trimmed-gold stripes with Elliot's Eye for RCN officers) or is it...

Would the Sôryû-class AIP type SSKs work just as good?  Lot cheaper than nukes.
