    Had the atomic bombs not happened, Allied BB's would have filled a critical role of turning coastal Japan into rubble and invasion prep.

    Iran Super Thread- Merged

    I generally agree with you, there is a lot of recycled garbage out or a tidbit floating in garbage in order to hit the YT 8 minute mark to help with monetization of the video.

    BC needs to slowly but surely clamp down on raw log exports and only allow value added exports of wood fibre.

    Iran worked hard to scuttle any regional peace deals in the ME, they spent almost every last Rial on it.

    The Arctic

    I would not be surprised if Canada positions a AOP's at Nuuk and opens a small Naval Station there. Seems to be a lot of dock space. Rotate the ship or the crew and have them patrol out of their during the winter, at least for the time being to this issue is resolved.

    Maybe, possibility of a much wider defection than they are letting on.

    True, but that applies equally to CV and Destroyers, yet we keep building them.

    New Canadian Shipbuilding Strategy

    Keep in mind that BB were built to take hits from 2 ton AP projectiles travelling at roughly Mach 2 and to keep fighting, that encompasses the majority of the Anti-ship missiles out there.

    Subs and CDC will fit, they also have graving dock as well. With 6 subs on the West coast, they would be busy.

    It goes there on a regular basis to lift and float the subs, it's their mid sized drydock, they just bought a newer smaller one and they have the Panamax which is their big one. Seaspan proposing to build two additional drydocks next to Lonsdale's Shipyards district | Urbanized

    New Canadian Shipbuilding Strategy

    It's a great read, Ryan from BB New Jersey covers it on his YT channel.

    Iran Super Thread- Merged

    I think at best it will be high thousands and they mostly go to Iraq and Afghanistan although not their final destination. High value wankers will go to Moscow and Qatar.

    Iran Super Thread- Merged

    I don't see full out anarchy. The majority of the population is utterly sick of the regime. Once the IRGC starts to lose power the army is very likely to come out on side of the people. You have a educated population that loves doing business and for that you need stability. You will likley end...

    Replacing the Subs

    KM450 is a licenced built version of the Jeep Truck, Vietnam era army truck. A modern version would be popular with the off road crowd here. KLTV series is a basically a copy of the Humvee. KM 250 is basically a M35.
