    Replacing the Subs

    I thought we were short submariners? If we offered them to the Philippines, they might only want them as a training sub and since we have a functioning repair facility already, that training might take place here on the Westcoast. This could only happen if we go KSS-III, if we go 212CD, then...

    Replacing the Subs

    Quite possible they would lend us one, but if everything is labelled in Korean that is a lot of work to relabel. Possibly a training sub where a mixed crew to train up Canadians. As for the Philippines, they intend to start a submarine force. If we get our KSS-III, then we could run a Vic as a...

    Replacing the Subs

    If we go Korean, likley the first sub stays in Korea and the crews trains there cycling in and out. And when the 2nd is launched, the first sails to Esquimalt, the transition of the submarine repair facility likley starts as soon as the first boat is launched, with the first boat back in Canada...

    I hope those involved in corruption regardless of who there are, get to serve hard time and break rocks for a long time.

    Iran Super Thread- Merged

    Trump may not be the greatest, but I suspect they are talking to someone, apparently in Iran and with some influence. However the IRGC just released a bunch of crazy demands for peace that includes the US pulling out completely from the ME and get Israel to stop bombing Hezbollah.

    Apparently there is some confusion within the IRGC as to who is talking to Trump's team, perhaps a way to create cracks and splinters in the remaining leadership?

    Self Defence in Canada (split from Gun Control 2.0)

    Don't know the details, but I infer they were following/chasing someone, then that does make self defense more difficult to win on. Now if they had called the police who then declined to come out for whatever reason, that factor might weigh on a jury.

    I wonder how reload times compare? Also I suspect, in a lull you can top up the RIM, not sure if you can top up a loaded CWIS?

    Trump administration 2024-2028

    The various enforcement agents all live in and around Bellingham/Seattle area, where a lot of businesses are tied to Canadian spending. I think they have been told that "We need Canadians to come and spend", So they seem to be better behaved than elsewhere.

    Replacing the Subs

    The automation is moving ahead slowly, computerized cutting tables, pipe welding machines, mini welding robots. Even that "Dockboy" hull cleaning machine I posted awhile ago makes a difference. If you can have robot prep and weld in a confined space, then you make life easier for everyone. You...
