you can minimize the disruptions by by buying the equipment in lots by type. In this case your light, medium, and heavy fleets. I never found that the trucks were that different. The new stuff is mostly cosmetics. Although its possible we are on the verge of bigger things powertrain wise
I think we should get SK to build us x amount of ships and maybe port the Halifax class systems over to bridge the time between now and when we get to 12 RCD's which is sometime in the 2040's
I dont think it would take years, it just takes the will and motivation. The Japanese are planning on building two upgraded Mogamis a year and im sure we could get the SK to build us some Daegus. The problem is on our decision making time period
say that Irving can get to 6 yrs per build and...
If you are cycling your trucks on 10 yrs are you even looking at the engine? I turned my trucks over on 10 yrs stretching to 15 when times were tougher and can only remember working on one truck engine. This was before DEF though
how light do you see them going?
what axles?
do they all need 13.5 tonne axles or will 9,5 tonne do or less
do we need 2 types of heavy ie MSVS-SMP and LVM-heavy?
how many times in the CAF history have we maintained a numbers capability? less fighter jets, less trucks, less frigates. It is the way
like i said i am more concerned with our potential frigate gap and low point. The Halifax class will be retired from 42 yrs to 49 yrs in service with an average...
somewhere between 2045 and 2050 I would think
but the RN numbers are down to 6 frigates as the graph is out of date from the HMS Richmond and likely HMS Iron Duke to follow this year as well which brings them down to 5 and 6 for a total of 11
what will our low point be? If we see the first RCD...
the CDC has kinda evolved into a mini Halifax at least for some on the internet. Can Ontario Shipyards do that? In conjunction with Davie? Move the newer systems on the worst of the Halifax's onto these new builds
should be looking at supply contract from a truck manufacturer like Kenworth to just roll out set numbers every year. I dont know if its a big enough contract
100 ERC
500 Heavy
2887 Medium
1000 Light
4500 trucks over 10 yrs every 10 yrs isnt nothing though
From what ive gathered from reading various Navylookout articles
is that the build was deliberately slow to begin with to accommodate budgeting
problems with late delivery of gearing from David Brown at the beginning
constructed outside vs inside
cold yard vs hot like Irving
type 31 less...

I post this article and image again with the news that the RN will be decommissioning another frigate this year ahead of schedule after numerous recent refits and possibly another due to personnel...
really with one bidder especially on something like a truck the process should be cancelled and looked at seriously
time for a replacement? opportunity to consolidate? Or end up with another one off?
