    Maritime Coastal Defence Vessels (MCDVs)

    You're right. It needs to be gray with a CFR and Low-Vis roundels.

    New Canadian Shipbuilding Strategy

    I'll dig into my personal collection and....um....maybe I have a 3 pounder, a 1 pounder, and a 10 Gauge cannon. Only the 10 Gauge is a breech-loader though. The others are old fashioned muzzle loaders.... They DO make an awful din.

    Funny Pix & Video Thread

    I bought a package of these off Amazon - they may now be found decorating blue rockets in both Gagetown and Aldershot....allegedly.

    Hamas invaded Israel 2023 Megathread

    The thing which the Rand report is missing are the 'suggested' hotels that DJT was coming up with a few months back...build back better?

    Canadian River Class Destroyer Megathread

    And here we have the crux of the matter..... The design teams that are a part of the NSPS can ONLY be part of the NSPS, because they cost too much to be relevant in the real world of ship production. NSPS is a Jobs program disguised as a shipbuilding plan. Ships are merely a somewhat useful...

    CH-148 Cyclone Progress

    I recall at one point that the 'plan' for uplink/downlink from the CH-148 was briefed as a terminal located in the ADR, and the air crew would take a 'snapshot' of the RMP onto a hard drive, which they'd then bring with them into the helo....then they'd go fly, update the RMP as they were...

    Replacing the Subs

    When you have literally lost a generation of senior sailors, it's a tough hill to climb to rebuild it...especially when you've also cut the school-house to the bone at the same time. For perspective, around the time I retired from the RegF 6 years ago, we lost 56% of the CSE Chiefs on the east...

    Replacing the Subs

    When the rollover from CFNES/CFNOS to NFS(A) happened, they training system was gutted of 'redundant' positions to top up the fleet. The concept as briefed at the time was that if we were short an instructor, we'd be able to CFTPO them from the fleet...except that's now how VCDS manning...

    I wonder if it's related to barrel harmonics perhaps? NS

    Medals etc with civi blazer

    Alternatively, start the night with just your miniatures on...and keep the rest in a pocket (or two) and as the night goes on, every time you head to the bar/heads/etc, slip on another bit of bling.

    27 Apr 2025: "Several people killed, others injured after vehicle drives into Vancouver street festival crowd: police"

    The old system of sanitoriums had many problems, there were some terrible abuses that occurred, along with the varieties of 'treatments' attempted over the year (lobotomies, forced castration, etc) But. I will note that there appears to be a correlation between the closure of these types of...

    The RCAF's Next Generation Fighter (CF-188 Replacement)

    OK, not a zoomie, but I'm going to say a thing or two anyhow. Feel free to tell me I'm off base or whatever, but I'm tired of some folks (not necessarily here) bashing the F-35.... So. The thing about the F-35 is that people look at it as a "Fighter" and pidgeon-hole it into that 'role'...

    The War in Ukraine

    This interceptor drone capability makes me ponder if they're looking at doing this with the Shahed waves? If they could throw a $7000 interceptor drone at them instead of $$$$$$ missiles, it would be a much better 'exchange' rate.
