would the The UK Royal Navy's Type 45 destroyers be a good choice or a smaller version of the  Arleigh Burke Class Aegis destroyer which i think would be out of our pay scale.

Is the government planning to keep two different types of ships after the 280 retire.  I think they are planning to replace the frigates in 2020 and the 280 are staying in service till around 2012. I read an article saying they want to replace both with one ship type numbering 16 to 18 ships

Here is the link to see the The Sachsen Class (F124) Germany's Air Defence Frigate http://www.naval-technology.com/projects/f124/index.html

Would the The Sachsen Class (F124) is Germany's Air Defence Frigate be a good choice to replace the 280's

Has there been any designs come out yet showing what the JSS ships are going to look like.

can i ask what is the American AOE-X program can you tell us more

would all four of the ships be based on the Rotterdam class Landing Platform Dock (LPD) and one having a command suite on it. I still think having a separate AOR ship is better for example the patino class AOR would fit the bill. So i would get three ships based on the Rotterdam class Landing...

so the 800 million the military got in new money now they have to give back 700 million back and that does not even help the military since they have a 1.2 billion dollar shortfall in funding nice really nice.

one word and that is "Price" $236.7 million (FY98 constant dollars) that is American not Canadian and it probably costs more now so getting 4 to six c-17 would cost about 2 billion to get them and that may not include spare parts.  With money like that you should be able to get more then 4 to 6...

They give with one hand and take away with the other sad to say it will always be that way i think under any government.  Tell the people they are giving the military more money and later take away under the cover of darkness.

I agree with Ex-Dragoon on this; it would be nice to be able to have a ship like that but we have to work on getting a replacement for the destroyers and the mid-life refit of the CPF first.  The three JSS ships that may come our way will have the capability of transporting more equipment then...

If the Royal Air force can lease to own c-17 i think we could do the same. The Americans would be happy to sell us some but i doubt that the liberals would spend the money to get them.

I just read a interesting article in the Ottawa Citizen talking about short service terms.  The article is written by a journalist who talked to John English a retired Lt. Col who spent 37 years in the military.  To summarize the article he says that we should move all the generals into the...

You can say that again.  We really need new airlift fast or we are not going to have anything to transport what little equipment the gov gives the CF

I almost forgot yes the liberals do lie about how much money the collect which is very bad.  With that amount of money they could buy new subs and destroyers that we need. 8)

Paying the debt down is a very good thing.  It means we spends less on interest and can start to spend more on other things or even a tax break.

Most of the media does not do there research, if you noticed they always seem to find experts that give them info that they work from.

politicians need to get reelected every four to five years and really don't have the time of day to care about what the CF needs in the future.  They will say what they have to, so as to get reelected.  For the military as we all know needs to plan 10 to 15 years in the future for purchases of...

Well we have them now except for one and unless the government is willing to buy us four new subs like the u212 or 14 from germany i don't see any other option.  We are going to have to live with what we have and take the lumps.  It is that or not having an subs which do you want. cheers.
