Honestly the combat systems of the CDC write themselves. We have the nav system, CMS, deck cranes, sonar, antennas Sweden for radars and main gun. Norway for anti ship missiles. Platform management is Canadian. Don't know about engines, generators or such but I'm sure there are options...

Thise guns aren't integrated. They are seperate systems. Might have a feed to OPS (CIC) but not actually controlled by Aegis.

Oh we won't. I guarantee that's ships gonna be about 3000-3500 tonnes and about 110m long. IF they pack what they want into it.

So Canada getting K9 would be bad. Got it. Everyone can shut up about tracked artillery. The data shows its a mistake. 🧌

Yes more beam and more length. Hunter class is just bigger.

Do both is the correct answer. They each have advantages and disadvantages. And yes sometimes those lines of development start overlapping. Which is fine.

What are the 4+1. I got only LUV and Arctic Mobility from that article.

Yep. No doubt in my mind.

There were two "land attack" requirements. First was basically tomahawk, long range missiles. The second was Naval Gunfire Support to forces ashore. Those are two extremely different requirements. Submarines don't do the latter. So no, there is no reconsideration for the RCD's land attack...

I dunno, they essentially gutted their intelligence services with all the DOGE stuff and political purges. Or it might be sensationalism like what used to grip them during the Cold War where the constantly overestimated Russia's technical abilities. Or it might be perfectly accurate.

You should be concerned with VLS numbers. The RCN is also concerned about the number of VLS. The CRCN has stated that publicly. That's one of the reasons the RCN TG config increased to 4 RCD's from 3 in some of the documents. But as per normal with all things there are trade offs. I know...

That article is amazing. I really should pay more attention to RCAF stuff.

Well the thing that hasn't changed is you can't beat the radar nor the CMS. Battle prove To keep your enthusiasm, the sensor suite and EW package are going to be better than expected. The data sharing and connectivity are ridiculously high. But that's not something that's easy to explain or...

You can do anything you want. But that's a midlife refit sort of job. Why would you want to? Just get the Arctic UAVs they are planning and use them instead. Keep the Cyclones (or there replacement) for the big ships.

That links to an ad. Everyones real is different.

Here's the rub. China isn't claiming any of this. The Pentagon is. China is just saying "yah we have a new ballistic missile that goes far". So CCP propaganda has nothing to do with it.

Its equal parts risk reduction and dealing with Leonardo.

I mean with the O boats the Octopus stands out as an O name. Oyster, Oscar (freshwater though), Oceanic White Tip, Oilfish, Ocean Perch, Oarfish, ORCA.... Sorry I used to work in marine biology and I don't get to use those skills very much anymore... lol

"Many exceptions..." lol Even the O boats were exceptions. Subs just kinda get named whatever I guess.

Which is kinda the point of the "Drive to Divisional" (c) model. Looks like the plan is to put our big kid pants on finally.
