I didn't say paid vacation. And if you are hourly you don't get paid holidays. You work them or you don't. If its a salary then that's different.

Problem is you get one maybe two engagements and then you are out of ammo. Lol. You're not shooting multiples.

Not going to pay for that just to sink it. Lol.

That contract isn't less than market wages for a teaching position. Its in line with them, . Says more about how we value teachers. Google AI stated this: In Canada, the average annual salary for a trade college professor or instructor is generally between $38,000 and $95,000, though this can...

Live targets always get more countries to show up to help. Likely just guns, though it was be amazing to see video of a missile hit on one. Or even better a torp hit (just a water column and then nothing left).

Exactly. You have rediscovered the main advantage of ships. Its that they move. Lol

Throw a football at someone running a route and hit them. Now throw a football at somone running directly towards you and hit them. Most of us can easily do the later, not many can do the former. Because the physics of the latter remove a lot of variables and the target keeps getting larger...

Yay missile defence conversation. In a ship contect. First thing lets talk about the fire control problem. You have to hit a moving object, with a moving projectile going through a moving medium, shot from a moving platform. That's multiple third order equations stacked on top of each other...

Whenever I see that stuff I'm so upset for the dogs. People suck. (yes I have a soft spot for dogs).

Both coasts. More ships total on the East Coast. Mainly because East Coast has more area to cover.

Possibly. Oh and to your earlier question regarding CDC numbers, they don't seem to know. As they define the requirements and potential loadout (mainly sensors) it will better inform the numbers. Somewhere along the line they are going to say, we need ships at sea doing Y job. This job...

With dynamite. Solid rock under the mud. Honestly if they go there they should go whole hog and just dig that entire bay out to be very deep and expand the jetty right up to CFB Naden's main road.

Not the subs based on the jetty plan, maybe CPC, depending on the draught. There certainly is enough space for it.

The current idea is up to 6 CPC and still 15 Rivers. The Rivers are expeditionary, and the CPC are going to plug into the continental defence grid/matrix/plan. Along with the submarines who will probably be mostly continental with a little bit of expeditionary. Absolutely nothing has changed...

I was in those meetings a long time ago, as far as I remember the design for A jetty accounted for River class. Lessons learned for B jetty is pretty standard. A jetty was to nest River class anyways, so there would be two of them. A lot more nesting is going to happen as the RCN gets bigger...

Protecteur's home will be B jetty. It's not like any other ships really used A Jetty that much. My concern is the lack of ability to go alongside at the ammo jetty. That's gonna be one big PITA for ammoing the ship by barge. From the orginal Protecteur's experience it taks at least a week at...

So submarines... they like... go underwater and stuff.

Or he was just saying what he was thinking. Its part of the charm of VAdm Topshee.

Slow clap. Good catch and well done. If they go with two fleets this will be held up by the opposition as a weapon and Carney will be beaten with it. I agree, only one fleet will be purchased.

Possibly. Most governments keep their foreign relationships relatively stable over time, particularly where billions in military contracts are at stake. If Germany were to do something like that (outside of an emergency) they would lose their international market for submarines. Even with a...
