I think this is the idea. It communicates this fact to everyone else through data link. People seem to be under the misunderstanding that ships do anti submarine warfare on their own. Let me make this clear. A ship doing anti submarine warfare on its own is probably DEAD. I don't know how...

Yes. There is a UAV that does ice reconnaissance, the S in SAR, and extends the ships surveillance. There is another UAV that does VERTREP (air logistics). I'm sure there will be a flight deck. I'm fairly confident there will be a small hangar for UAV's. I'm 100% sure there will be no...

Is there a tool that can do the helicopter job. If yes one is not required. UAV/s with dipping or dropping capability. What does that look like? Does that get us the 80% solution? And does it match the crewing model? The job of finding a submarine far away from the ship so it can't get...

Agree with this. Some amazing creative people out there, doing awesome stuff from "learn how to do X Y Z", educational stuff for nitche knowledge and creative shows. Yes there are lot of "guy got hit in the nuts" channels but that's not showing up on my algorithm!

This isn't new. The boomers are still the largest voting block and they happily were outraged like everyone else. And they generally are the one complaining about "soft kids these days" . This isn't generational, its just people being people. Lots of Gingoism in history getting countries...

So I was thinking about the CDC and whether or not it needs a helicopter option. A good ASW ship needs a helo to find a prosecute a target. And then I'm realizing that the RCN isn't looking at the problem like this anymore. The RCN is going what do we need. We need a ship that go to the ice...

Just because you detect a submarine doesn't mean its a threat.

To late to edit! I'm gonna own it.

I agree. Keeping CMS330 going in the CDC's is a good idea I think. It continues to evolve, with a HFX version (NZ and Chile sub versions, JSS version, AOPS version (CCG sub version). The RCD will have a version, and that subversion will be taken up by the Germans for their AAW Frigate, with...

Yah I don't know the timings on the project. I know that TRAPS was trialed by HDW on their circumnavigation voyage, and of course was also trialed on the MCDV's first.

TRAPS has evolved into COBRA. Which is the same thing but adds a sonobuoy processing system as well.

You know you need to provide the spilt tea now... For PROTECTEUR there are certainly problems, some self inflicted, I think they are behind schedule again after making some good gains to get the ship launched. PRESERVER is going much better.

I'm just as interested in low interest loans for our own military equipment projects. 10mil membership may save us a crap ton of money depending on how those loans get structured and what interest rates we pay. If we were going to buy European stuff anyways (like we are with anti ship missiles...

This is excellent. I'm suprised by the large numbers of surveillance gear types they have. EO/IR, Vessel Tracking Unit, Vessel Monitoring System, RDF, Automatic Voluntary Obeserving Ships system and of course their normal radar etc... Yes I know a lot of these things are for SAR, fisheries and...

That is certainly more than 10x. I'm seeing signals from Euro defence industry that they are starting to move some production to Canada for some things. Or maybe that's just the media picking up on it more than before, so I'm getting confirmation bias.

For sure, I was oversimplifying the situation. However, problems sometimes develop where you are, instead of before you get there... AOPS on station may not have the luxury of avoiding problems. But now have the ability to call for help that can do something about them or help them get out of...

Boat transfer is that everyone on both sides are helping to move people from the boat to the ship and vice versa. In a boarding the ship being boarded doesn't lower their nice ladder and or recover the boat with people already inside. Its the difference between someone opening the door to a...

Well Grandpa joined halfway through the war when he turned 18. And I'm the youngest of four sooo that makes me (takes off shoes to count). Yep... getting old.

Boat handling is the enabling skill for boardings. But boardings themselves are their own skill set. Its not the same as a boat transfer.

This is amazing to hear. Especially the ammo depot information.
