I think it's safe to say that she will be put to bed with a Mk48 torpedo. Ships of this size are quite resilient to capsizing completely with strictly above the waterline attacks. During a similar event on a US Knox class frigate a few years back - she took thousands of rounds from a Block 1B...

Renard is the name (French for Fox, of course)

I should make it without problem

Obviously, the local populace was VERY concerned... that was over TWO months ago. I'm not a CFS Alert genious, but I suspect there must be local (read civilian) workers at the station? Considering it took an access to information request one can deduce the member from the Western Arctic is more...

Can't wait for my SRI approved late night ship initiated....  >:D

I too shall attend, assuming my ship is still afloat!  >:D

+100000 LOL

I think we're also overlooking the Marine Security aspect of all this. I'm not by any means a security expert, but one would think you'd want to be pretty sure what cargoes were on the dozens of container ships/bulk carriers coming in and out of Vancouver. While I won't speak to the ACTUAL...

I think this makes our third SAR Zone in a row that resulted in a tow... Good times.  ;)

The kit itself is much more complicated to operate than the article lets on. I won't comment as to how many "operational" 511 sonars there are on the coast or in inventory. I'm not sure what the source for the article was - or who for that matter - suffice to say that there are serious...

Well we're off to see the Wonderful Wizard of SAR today! Tomorrow a number of agencies (including some DND assets, such as a Cormorant, Buffalo and YELLOWKNIFE) will be conducting a major test of JRCC's Major Maritime Disaster Contingency Plan in the vicinity of Pat Bay. There will be 200 plus...

No sailing for the tour of YELLOWKNIFE, that much I can say for sure.

Moooohahahahaha! See you Tuesday!  >:D

I have to say, developing a taste for PB Sangys is a real must at times LOL. The food is usually quite good, but, like mich says, it really depends on who your cooks are. I recall one day having BLT's as the first choice and Sandwiches as the second choice... it didn't take too long for someone...

For whatever reason, the MCDVs were "given" to NAVRES to man exclusively (short of three reg force billets - since reduced to two). We basically have a requirement to man 29 billets on each ship (two positions are paid for by MARPAC here on the west coast though). If you have a fully manned ship...

In the navy we use all sorts of measurements, for example: We calculate distance in yards, cables and nautical miles. We calculate barometric pressure in millibars. We calculate fuel amounts and other liquid amounts in litres and cubic metres. Height is still in feet (hundreds above sea...

the effective date (by ALL official sources) is Apr 06... The % rate... well that remains to be seen :)

I don't think so... at least, I never saw it anywhere except the DIN. I was surprised to see it on youtube actually so perhaps it did get some airtime somewhere...

What CFLC is doing is commendable there have been, as you mention, many successes. Sadly, without legislation to back up the odd few "bad" situations, there really isn't any incentive for employers to be the nice guy. (WARNING: This is going to be a long post - please read on) As you know, it...

I don't think they are all that bad to be honest. Though, they could actually use some more sound - far too quiet (some music maybe?). The best thing I've seen DND put together was the Navy's domestic security piece... I actually thought it was well done http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rwjt51p-4Yw
