You're right Ex-Dragoon.  Considering how we're taking to get our AORs and helos, not to mention replacements for the Iroquois' God only knows how long it'll take at this rate for us to get new subs.  But the subs are, in my view at least, an urgent need that has to be addressed.

Here's my first question, Canada bought these boats in 1998, it's now2011, thirteen years later and HMCS Victoria is just becoming operatational.  When all four boats are fully operational how much more years of service can we expect from them.  Second, at this point won't it make more sense...

Hello All (Mods feel free to move this to the appropriate forum)It's been awhile since I've posted on milnet.ca, things have been so hectic.  I completed my masters a couple of years ago and around a year after landed my present job, which I love.  I now manage the Brimstone Hill Fortress...

Just want to wish a happy 100th birthday to the Canadian Navy.  To all the men and women of Canada's Navy, past and present,you have a lot to celebrate and a lot to be proud of :salute:

I've always considered the Harrier and Jaguar to be two of the most beautiful aircraft ever made. [mountie]

Luv the detail on this model, keep up the great work.

:christmas happy:Hello all, I've not been on this site for awhile because things have been real hectic.  I'd like to wish all CF and milnet.ca members a belated Merry Christmas and best wishes for 2010.  For all those brave CF personnes serving overseas, whether in Afghanistan, the waters off...

While it was a mistake to conduct an exercise like this over NYC and leave the public in the dark, with memories of 911 still so fresh, I find it interesting and amusing how quickly some Army.ca members are to jump all over an innocent mistake.  GWB did more than his fair share of stupid and...

Well said, I agree

Thanks for posting gwp, I could not agree with this article more.

Congratulations to these troops for a job well done.  RIP to those who made the ultimate sacrifice in battle and a full and speedy recovery to the wounded :salute:

Excuse my ignorance but I always assumed the Air Force's search and rescue helicopters had infrared sensors. 

This is a problem that many navies are facing.  The Royal Australian Navy is struggling even harder than the Canadian Navy to man ships, they only have enough crews for half of their six Collins Class subs.  Naval-Technology.com brought out an interesting article on this problem, you can read it...

While I do not always support Israel's actions and policies, Israel like every other SOVEREIGN nation (note my emphasis, because Israel is a sovereign nation whether or not the Arab nations wish to recognize it as such) has a right to defend itself.  It is rather hypocritical of Hamas to...

Good evening all Concerning this article I read on the Canadian Navy website http://www.navy.forces.gc.ca/cms_news/news_e.asp?category=7&id=686 I certainly think it makes sense to keep the DD280's technologically relevant and potent until a replacement is in hand, so will this refurbishment be...

Excellent article, a must read.

RIP to another one of Canada's fallen sons and a full and speedy recovery to the wounded. :cdnsalute:

Welcome back lads and lasses and job well done, enjoy your well earned Holidays.

I don't get to watch TV much but last night I saw a programme entitled "City in Afghanistan" on City TV.  Kudos to City TV for a great programme and I wish more of the reporting on the CF in the Canadian media was positive like this.

A safe, happy and healthy Holiday Season to all of the Milnet.ca family and the brave men and women of the Canadian Forces, as well as their spouses, sifnificant others and families.  May the New Year bring you God's richest blessings. :cdn:
