I firmly believe that Trump has been angling all along, right from the get-go of this, that Canada would try and use our energy sales to the US as a counter-measure to his actions. Gives him a perfect excuse to actually escalate to military action, as far-fetched as that may seem……I always...

THIS!!!!!! As a matter of fact I would say that Canada’s government, politicians and the military is absolutely terrible at selling the CAF to the public…..

Indeed. But the overweight problem has been solved from what I have read and the AIP should be ready and proven by the time our hull would be ready to accept it. The thing about the S80 that I have read is it has the size for longer endurance missions than the German boats….and many of its...

What about the Spanish S80

Quebec either voluntarily gets with the program in Canada or one day the Americans will sort them out.

We are never getting nuclear powered subs. The Americans will never let it happen. The last thing they want is our navy swanning around under the ice or the NW passage. In 1958, the US signed an agreement with the UK that gave it the right to block the sale of nuclear reactors to third parties...

I ran across this video last night...its iraqi bad guys fireing a mortar....I'm just wondering if anybody can explain the cause of the explosion at the end...I'm pretty sure the previous round had left the tube.....so, defective round? or some type of counter-battery fire...

Just spoke to my contacts in the industry...the engine was ground run on the Herc( as per the pics in a previous post) for a total of 10 minutes...they are redesigning the compressor, so it, the new compressor, won't be in service until next year. As for the 10 minute run on the Herc, I'm...

There aren't that many sharks that get that big...Whale-shark and Basking Sharks come to mind....both plankton feeders...plus the Mega-mouth shark, which if memory serves is a plankton feeder also.

Just out of curiosity...what is the Gaelic for "Pro Valore"/ "For Valor" ?? Cheers Gene
