Jeez , I missed the HMCS Irving.

I think RCN is holding off on further names to give corporate sponsors a chance to put their names on them. HMCS (Jolly?) Rogers, HMCS Weston or better HMCS Shoppers Drug Mart…

David Dunlop is just spitballing.on names and hull numbers. Only the first 3 hulls have been named. Note David’s 12th ship is Assiniboine. That is the name being given to the land test facility at Hartlen Point. The numbers he picked, I don’t believe have been used in the past.

If we’re calling them destroyers then following Algonquin (DDH283] shouldn’t it be 284?

Not sure if you posted it, what is the scale?

Could the opposite work, since the big 3 are tied up with projects for at least ten years. What if big 3 yards supplied modules to say Heddle (Ontario) at St. Catherine’s drydock?

Multi year contract includes 2 Foreign Military Sales: https://defence-industry.eu/rtx-wins-785-million-contract-to-supply-350-tomahawk-block-v-cruise-missiles-to-u-s-forces-allies/

US dept of war just placed an order for 350 Tomahawks

I agree with you, but LM still posts on their site a 2010 brochure with RAMblk2 and ExLS is still shown on River illustrations. I’m not happy about Canada using ExLS until some other sucker proves it on their ships

I haven’t seen any images on RCN or LM sites showing RAM launcher. ExLS is still there, so one might assume LM is pushing ahead with RAM launched from ExLS.

Harrier jump jet, Bland food and single malt Scotch to wash it down

Is that a 12 pounder on the rear axle?

Where are all the gold embellishments?

TrumpRx , I’m guessing Trump is giving himself a commission on every prescription.
