I like this part of the documents...

So my take was that all those numbers from WW2 basically mean nothing because they dropped the G, K, CC's etc prefix from the numbers in the designations when we switched to NATO desig's. So for example Haida was originally G63 and renumbered to 215. You could just reuse 063 at any time, as...

Fair enough. Either way, Irving doesn't get to announce project information. ADM Mat does that. That's where the infographics come from etc... I think they aren't talking right now because there is still a lot of design change going on. And staffing. There is one person in the project who...

Not in for the 127mm The round is semi fixed where all the components are assembled mechanically on a tray just before loading.

Irving isn't the prime. LMC is the prime. And ADM Mat offices are responsible for any press release of information. I tapped some sources regarding the gun change. It might not be a done deal. There is more to it than integration ease.

A design feature not a flaw. :LOL:

I know what a JSS is for, but I don't know what a mobile base is. My concern is the icebreaking component. A med sized LHD (Say Canbera Class) is about 28000 tons and 700ft long. A PC2 icebreaker as currently constructed (Seapan Aker version) is also ~28000 tons but only ~520ft long. If...

If you want an amphib then yes. But an icebreaking mobile base is not an amphib. This is a PC2. You think a helo is going to work on -50? Are we designing for optimal performance in the middle of winter or other times and places. Are we using aide to civil power as the mission or the raison...

So that article talks about a mobile base and PC2. This is not an amphib in anything resembling the traditional sense. The Seapan proposal was JSS power on a PC2 hull. This is something else entirely. I'm thinking no well deck, two big cranes, large hanger but limited flight deck space in...

There are ROROs that dock in Halifax (Darmouth side) all the time to offload cars from Europe (and take other cars back). Just commandeer one of them and escort it. Precious time and money should not be spent in building ships that you can't just commandeer or hire. That being said there is a...

It's a good article from the CBC covering this topic. Thought experiment is certainly where we are at with this. This issue will always be "does the army want this" because at the end of the day this is an enabler for the army. And they only dabble in amphib operations (Vandoos the most)...

We didn't buy the guns, we just gave Leonardo a contract. Since it was 2021 when that happened sometimes these things don't pan out. It was probably an initial design/information contract with intent to purchase at a later date.

It's the same type of fuel cell that was used in the Space Shuttle. The answer to your question is how much fuel do you have. Its an extremely efficient reaction just very expensive to put LOX and LH2 into tanks. Weight to power ratio is about as high as you can go.

If that's the case then yes, its likely an integration "save money and time" issue. Unless something else came up with Leonardo being unable to deliver what we needed or somesuch. The gun was originally going to be part of the CMS portion of the combat management, but moving to the BAE 5"...

Looks like it. @Rainbow1910 thanks, I knew I had previously seen the render somewhere.

Should be an image of a Kiwi. They did the big change in the early 90s.

It's not via ExLS. -there is an image with the Mk49 launcher released out there somewhere -RAM had never been fired from ExLS ever in testing (its a cool image on a flossy brochure) -RAM doesn't have a way to reorient towards a target from a vertical launch (which would also stop its "rolling"...

Moronic. Golden opportunity to shatter the stupid supply management system. Risk the entirety of free trade to defend a bunch of rich dairy farmers getting richer while dairy products cost more for retirees. Somehow supply management has become a patriotic duty.

Probably not. Batteries provide a rechargeable while at sea submerged power source. AIP of the type the KSS uses provides a fuel tank that can be used while submerged. So different applications. I would assume that AIP file is saved for critical situations where you just can't recharge the...

Exls space is there but the Sea Cepters are giving way to RAM launcher above the hanger port quarter. NSm Yep
