If I could live in a perfect world, I’d pick the sweet lines of a Trabant, with the reliable, underpowered mosquito killer Lada engine…

A synthesis of the two countries is a better outcome than absorption of one over the other, regardless of who annexes who (I get we’re not in the position to do this, BTW), but I can’t see that being real smooth either. Neither Canadians nor Americans are super keen on being referred to as their...

I can’t imagine this being a legit scenario, becoming part of USA. If it were to happen democratically, it would require some kind of national referendum that would probably not pass, not to mention whatever would happen provincially. Possibly, as was mentioned earlier, due to some unity crisis...

I didn’t check my autocorrect…I meant for it to say HMCS PERPETUATE

And the 4th one HMCS PRESENCE…

I always thought you were a Commodore? My view of the world has been shaken…

She’s a big girl, isn’t she…That rudder looks gargantuan.

She looks gorgeous! Can’t wait to see her in the water.

Less than “Stellar”…I see what you did there. Seriously, though, I bought a 19 Kia Sorento on the word of a friend who swears by Kia and it has proven to be the best vehicle I have ever owned out of pretty much any brand you can imagine.

Further reading in that USNI article has Dave Mazur ruminating about sending AOPS to the Indo Pacific region…

Are they currently doing any part of this during DWP’s or is it just being let to go?

That would fall under the category of less good to hear…

Good to hear the CPF’s are still in demand as a sub hunting platform. I often wondered how effective the still are, given their age and when they were designed.

So, that means if a KINGSTON replacement was to be done, it would either have to be under 1000t, wait until SS or Irv can get to it, go offshore or force the NSPS to change its policy. Not a lot of satisfactory options there…

Does Davie’s current umbrella agreement allow it to build combatants over 1000t or is it strictly set up for icebreakers?

Given the pressure on Canada’s shipyards and the tonnage limits in the NSPS, maybe that KINGSTON RFI gets put further afield and HHI (who has a large number of OPV’s/corvettes in their portfolio) gets a chance to bid too, if even just the hull and the rest gets fitted out here. It would be nice...

I hadn’t seen that. Glad for the clarification.

It could be an even greater disparity in missile count were they to select a single SeaRam system as it only carries 11.

Or even as a replacement for the 25mm?
