    HMCS Calgary Spills Oil in Strait of Georgia

    Is 30,000 L a lot? I heard that a ‘Burke’ burns 1000 gallons an hour.  So that might only be a few hours of fuel.

    Comm Research

    Food for thought. It depends what you want to do with your life. Comms research Pro: it is interesting work. Con:Leitrim is shift work; and there aren’t a lot of directly related civilian jobs. I’ve worked with some geo techs. (One of whom OTed from comms research) Pro: at MCE it is a 7 to...

    Aircrew Selection/ACS (Merged)

    I’m assuming you want to do this in your head? If you have scrap paper it’s much easier. I hope I got these right. 1.  255 mile in 36 min Guess and check. I tried dividing both by 6. Was too hard. Then I tried by 3. 255/3 = 85miles. 36/3 = 12 min So 85 miles every 12 min. Multiply both by...

    Aircrew Selection/ACS (Merged)

    I’m no expert, but hopefully these ideas help a little. 1. I memorized these numbers below (chart) 2. I rarely divided by 60 minutes, but instead I tried to think in fractions. 3. For the examples I used 'easy' numbers to keep this simple. if you get a decimal I would round and estimate. 4...

    Arctic/Offshore Patrol Ship AOPS

    The Endurance was not withdrawn before the war, it was only planned to be withdrawn due to a RN fleet reduction. She was very active during the war. Perhaps had the Endurance been better armed it could have done more during the war, maybe preventing the invasion (probably not) or at the very...
