These treaties have merit but it would be a hard sell for Canada if we had invested as much money as I expect the Yanks (and any other huge military) did building these weapons.  You ban them and it creates billions $$$ spent on effectively waste disposal.  I hate deffending US policy and...

I am realizing everyone in the commonwealth is having problems keeping there people happy.  The RN lower Decker's are all grumbling the Aussies have no people and we are hurting.  When I did a crosspole with the US though in 2005 they were saying they had a hard time staying in the navy.  The US...

That is what I told them too.  "The Aussies would love to have you".  They seem pretty keen on us tho.  Seems a shame to pass up some very qualified people but I have a feeling our Immigration system would be the first hurdle.  Its to bad we couldn't allow citizens of the UK Canadian citizenship...

I'm over in the UK in HMS Sultan doing some coursing related to the Vic's.  Every night up in the mess the RN guys are at me about what its like in Canada and how much they would love to join our Navy.   They are all as equally trained if not more trained than our MAR ENG.  As "Tiffers"  They...

+1 Good2Go I would love to see the media get ahold of some corrective maintenance documentation for ships who have completed refits.  Do a consumer report for everyone to see how much we really get screwed.  Arisings are big too!  Missing piece as simple as washers and bolts can turn into a...

Do our medals fall into such legislation?

When the guns, missiles and radars work.  The 57mm jammed (shocking), the Sea Sparrow missfired, and the CWIS couldn't lock on (not suprising because of the size).  The public sees stuff like that and gain so much more respect for us <---insert sarcasm here.  We understand it is a fact of life...

Well I got to this kinda late.  Let me first say that Peter Stoffer is a uncommon supporter and loud voice speaking for all things military.  Unfortunately he is in the Taliban.... Oops I mean NDP party  ;D.  I have seen him on TV and at public events countless times and (more than most...

Sinking a Destroyer is on the History Channel in ten minuets  ;D  As far as I know its about the HMCS Huron. :cdn:

Can you imagine if any of our past conflicts had this much red tape and crap to surf through.  We probably wouldn't have to buy leopards from the Germans because we would be producing them here.  We might have good Subs too. ;D

I've been a big fan of this site.  http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/satellite.shtml updated often and you can see the progression of any big storms :cdn:

unofficially it was not really expensive for safety equipment which is normally pricey.  I'm not sure of the exact amount so I wont say.  The one thing for us would be the requirement to use a BA on our back.   But as far as ship board it could be very effective in many situations...including...

Had to opportunity to try out a new toy today at lunch.  The DC school is looking at the IFEX3000 impulse fire extinguisher.  It was very cool and seems like it could be very effective.  It would run off a back pack (fitted with MSA bottle) or in the case of a Sub could run off and EBS rail. ...

Regardless of weather I expect it to work or not.  The JSS according to the SOR shall be capable of supporting the Victoria Class underway.  Anyone I have talked to doesn't think it can happen.  Possibly if fitted right in a sheltered area and in calm weather the JSS or Tanker could.  At sea...

Our fleet east and west today is like a three legged dog.  The tankers are hurting, the 280's are tired, the CPF's are just starting FELEX and our subs well we know what they are like.  If we loose our Sub (yes Sub  :warstory:) we might as well strap on the wheels and let the Navy drag its arse...

They worry about crossing the pond if they have any issues with the battery.  If they were required to float the load on the surface and run the DG's the whole trip they wouldn't make it.  Its range is very dependant on its condition.  The upholders where conceived to stay in the North Sea...

*Bump* Just saw today the season finally has been posted  ;D.  The creator is also launching another animated Navy spoof which is previewed at the end of the episode.  Hope you enjoy. NB
