That profile makes it look like a star destroyer... which is cool in its own way.

The tanker is a combatant. It goes in the forward echelon with the warships. But it's not doing a warship role, its doing the tanker role with the warships. Give me one example where a non-combatant ship was used in recent history for a role a combatant was necessary. I'm happy to eat crow...

So when have we (since the 1980's) sent a ship that wasn't actually a warship for a combat type scenario? Gulf war was warships, some were converted with new equipment but they were still warships. MCDV's haven't done a single warship job that I can think of outside of the MCM tasks. Honestly...

Bow thrusters not to be used for combat conning. Slow speed manouver only. Those ships do look cool, the bow design really reduces their upper deck surface area. Not really designed for high speeds in big seas.

Don't disagree, I'm just mildly offended. As someone who paints miniatures for a hobby angles of pictures matter, and you won't get a proper appreciation of the hull and superstructure shape until you see it from various angles (walk around).

Yep, they took a smooth radar cross section and lego'd the hell out of it. Yes I know its going to have waaaay more stuff on it than the UK version but damn that angle looks cool and awful at the same time. Makes me think that they should choose all the equipment for the CDC first and then...

I guess your sub base will have to wait...

This is new info to me, I knew they were going to do a new Naval Depot building for the Aegis stuff but didn't know where it was going to be. It showing up on the Shearwater side is interesting, and the new fueling farm and jetty is also news to me. There is also plans afoot for a High...

The facility is where we make Aegis Version RCD our own. We will manage all the upgrades and changes from there. It's integral to the continuing support of the entire class. Also training for some of the techs and integration testing for any new equipment. Its basically a shore based ship...

BC folks seem to be a higher % of the west coast as well. It makes sense. I suspect if one were to look at the Army, a larger % would be central/western Canadians as the army is present and visible in those communities.

This is one of the discussions in the RCN regarding drone warfare and why the mission bay on the RCD's is so important (and why the RCN is extremely resistant to removing it in favour of more VLS). If something doesn't work unload it and replace it with something that does. You can iterate...

Many Quebecers won't join the navy because they don't want to leave Quebec. This is one of the reasons we have a higher % of female to male French sailors over the english ratio. Because female Quebecers consistently in many polls and data show they are not as resistant in leaving their home...

2022 we gave the outgoing Command Chief a shell casing with a 3d printed shell in it. It had the date of his first day at sea and the date of his last day at sea engraved on it (which was the sail with us). As he was WENG TECH of some flavour originally the CSE Dept of course did all the work...

I thought you meant that you were gonna yell at him about some gripe. Maybe both "Hello CRNC... you are a stupid head! and heres a gift.

*Russian bear...

At a specific angle. Of which the BB would try to be at range to have the enemy shells hit their armour belt at. One of the reason bombs worked so well, and why some missiles have a popup attack. The ships deck isn't nearly as armoured as the sides (or guns).

The RCN is perfectly happy with both submarines. They both meet the minimum capabilities. AI generated but I checked and there are no AI hallucinations in the data: Key Selection Factors Sustainment (50%): How well the company can maintain and support the fleet long-term, including crew...

That's the most recent version of the mast that I've seen.
