    Canadian Sailor Dies After Boat Capsizes in Halifax's Bedford Basin

    Apparently struck a mooring buoy at speed, problem with fast RHIB's is they often go faster than the operators can process the information from their senses and navigation tools and they lose awareness of where they are.

    Not yet, but I have to question the title, which makes me wonder if I should even bother.

    Tad early to be writing the after action report, when really it was just one act in a play that is not done.

    A regime that slaughtered 50,000 of it's own people in 2 days gets nominated by Canada? Disgusting.

    Mine Warfare

    You still need marine assets to deploy the unmanned systems. In places like the Strait, you could use docks and cranes if you are using systems like the UK is starting to use. Basically a 35-20' unmanned vessel to deploy the ROV to hunt the mines.

    I have to wonder much religious lore is the result of a tired parent trying to answer a curious 7 year old. Daughter: "Dad, if the earth is flat, what does it sit on?" Tired dad; "Umm, umm, a turtle" Daughter: "Ok that explains earthquakes when it moves"

    Trump administration 2024-2028

    The majority of atheists I meet are the latter and are insufferable superiority complex type individuals. Yet they wear their "knowledge" like a cloak and basically do everything required to be called a religious zealot. Given that almost every group of humans have formed some sort of...

    Logistic Vehicle Modernization Project - Replacing everything from LUVW to SHLVW

    Mind you it's not just axles, but your frame, body mounts, spring hangers, suspension components and accompanying strain on the drivetrain. I recall when we first got the MLVW, we went down a 4x4 trail and had the front spring mounts shear off on a trail that I would mark as moderate.

    Logistic Vehicle Modernization Project - Replacing everything from LUVW to SHLVW

    On a 4x4 chassis, you don't really need 11.6 tons of load carrying, normally your cargo's bulk out before weighing out. I also suspect that 11.6 ton figure is for 10% or less of it's operational cycle and may have other restrictions as well.

    The Catholic Church had extortion and protection money down to a fine art, to the point that people did not realize they were doing so.

    Canada's tanks

    I don't think the UK has 229 tanks, certainly nowhere near that operational.

    Apaches

    Manned helicopters might end up being mobile drone control ships, providing instant high ground to maintain long distance signals on drones. One of the things I hear out of Ukraine is that any high ground is valuable from a radio signal POV and extends drone effective drone ops.

    Trump administration 2024-2028

    I decline to be an atheist, as it requires far to much faith to say "There is no god". I prefer to say: "It's unlikely that a superior being cares, if you wear a particular hat, or how many times you pray a day and did not write your book." However that being if they exist, may have encoded our...
