    New Canadian Shipbuilding Strategy

    I’d agree with a containerized modular system and I’m certain the platform will be able to deploy TRAPS etc. What I meant in my original post is that I doubt the ship will have a hull mounted sonar or isolated plant machinery that are inherent in more ASW focused ships. I’m also not sure how...

    New Canadian Shipbuilding Strategy

    In the most recent interview, Topshee indicated a dozen corvettes. As an exercise I plotted out what that might mean and it seems like that would give one at sea on both coasts, one possibly in the Caribbean/port visits south and one going to Africa/Euro port visits, simultaneously and more or...

    The RCAF's Next Generation Fighter (CF-188 Replacement)

    Agreeing with all of the above here, but also adding that we’re still reportedly short on maintainers, pilots and support staff for our current fleet. I’m no expert, but I think it’s unlikely we’ll be in a position to operate a fleet of over 120 fighters any time soon. If we have to have a...

    The RCAF's Next Generation Fighter (CF-188 Replacement)

    If you can make that happen, I’d be looking to see if we could swap you in for the current US ambassador…

    A Deeply Fractured US

    5 years ago, I would’ve been extremely skeptical that it was potentially a foreign operation. Having recently watched a documentary on how much time/money/effort Putin has spent on sowing division thru spooling up all sides of the political spectrum in the west, I am now at least willing to...

    A Deeply Fractured US

    If that’s true, and I have no reason to doubt otherwise, it may be the only silver lining from this terrible incident. I’ve been long suspecting the only thing that could force Americans to put being American first (ahead of political affiliation) is some kind of attack from an outside actor...

    Maritime Coastal Defence Vessels (MCDVs)

    That joke’s a bit of a reach, no?

    Maritime Coastal Defence Vessels (MCDVs)

    Am I reading this right and that you don’t think a 3rd JSS would be beneficial?

    Arctic/Offshore Patrol Ship AOPS

    What about an outright purchase that helps to grease the wheels of some other procurement or a form of diplomatic detente? Before the RCD’s come onboard and with the CPF’s being used increasingly sparingly, we could be a useful part of multinational task forces as suppliers and force enablers.

    Arctic/Offshore Patrol Ship AOPS

    Looks like they’ll take your old beater in on trade. Maybe send a few MCDV’s there to knock the price down a bit…

    Good luck getting her through the honking death squad that patrols that pond ceaselessly…and mind your shoes. 🪿🪿 💩

    AOR Replacement & the Joint Support Ship (Merged Threads)

    I think that Davie GLAM earlier upthread is a great option if ice strengthened. 3-4 of them would be useful for landing forces/equipment up North as well as spelling off JSS in the winter months.

    I like that you are predicting the end of 10 current states here. 😉

    NHL playoffs 2025!

    Bah. The only thing this Sens team has in common with Ott teams of old is Alfredsson being a part of the picture (and if you were gonna bring something from then back, he is definitely the best thing). For me, it all depends on Brady and Ullmark. If Tkatchuk comes out of the gate a more...

    I was with you up until WPG/MTL final. I’ll need that to be Jets/Sens to see The Cup rolling down Elgin this spring. 🏆
