Lets recognize that Halifax Tar was not envisioning something as small and basic as the flower class, but rather just that we need something that is cheap, easy to produce, and focused on purpose. The CDC could fit this bill if it doesn't go the way of the constellation class and encounter...

They need the Sherman tank of the sea!

Step 1: Convince your shopaholic and investing illiterate spouse to be frugal and save money. Step 2: Find a new spouse.

Oh man the MAGA crowd will be so confused. Do they take the side of the pride parade participants because they are American, or do they take the side of the foreigner tourists because they are anti-LGBTQ?

The more I learn about him, the more I don't understand why he isn't already a member of the Greens and hasn't been since day 1.

They probably let their array slip off the reel and are busy looking for it...

Recall that the LPC changing leaders was the worst thing that happened to the CPC. And so, the CPC not changing leaders would be the best thing that could happen to the LPC.

I got you: For @Altair

I'm speaking from the American perspective.

Can you even go to "formal" war with a "narco terrorist state"?

All of that is true except for the part where liberals were involved in any sort of "money funneling". No liberals were involved in where the money went. The government wasn't involved at all in where the money went. Even @cbh can back me up on this one. And the reason this is "on topic" is that...

Ugh, not the f***ing green slush fund again. That's been thoroughly debunked.

SMI?

I don't think a toaster is the best comparison. Aegis is like a really nice Lego set. Like one of the big pirate ships. It comes as a complete package. If you want something different, you either need to buy a different Lego set, or somehow Jimmy pieces into it that weren't meant for it. Trying...

It's depressing because it IS accurate. They are saying the quit part loud.

Well... That's depressing.

The thing is, with passive sensors, the subs don't know they've been detected. And if they decide to put a torpedo into the AOPS just in case it's tracking it, then they are guaranteeing that NATO knows there's a sub there (and that it's hostile).

Point of clarification, CMS330 COULD do BMD; just no one's asked for it to be configured that way with the appropriate weapons and sensors. CMS330 is a better system than AEGIS, in my opinion. The choice to go with AEGIS was simply because it is a proven system, along with weapons proven to work...

Not a lot of details, but it doesn't look now like it was a situation where the Gettysburg's CMS was left in auto-engage and took action without crew input, but rather that the crew/CO mad a conscious decision to engage what they believed was a threat. Did the fighters not have Link providing...

You mean like the Trans Mountain pipeline? Or the three pipelines that already go from Alberta to Montana? Or the Keystone and Enbridge pipelines that go from Alberta to the states thru Sask and Manitoba?
