Whats actually going on in Venezuela? Has anything changed or did they just swap out leaders?

Electoral votes were supposed to be a remedy for that. Instead faithless electors vote for owls and such

i can see the ESA being a hard one to avoid if you are tying in maybe. I think the others must get worked around. Do they even have the people to inspect the projects in the middle of nowhere?

interestingly ive seen both sides of this recently helping my kid out. Buildings in non organized municipalities built without a permit both well and absolutely frighteningly bad but also buildings built to the drawings, correctly and approved that often require much remedial work

Im curious how extensive our refits are and what we can expect out of them in part and whether it really makes sense

Here's a picture of the HMS Lancaster in 2018 as part of its extensive life extension HMS Lancaster was paid off this past December

already got some PC21s add some more that are armed? Some for the Snowbirds?

realistically how quick can that happen? choose a yard choose a design build out first of class delivered same time as HMCS Fraser? one a year after?

It seems an incredibly risky plan to expect or rely on the Halifax class to carry on for another 8 years for the first of its replacements and 20 for the last. As well as maybe expensive?

The SK, Chinese, Japanese can pump out ships pretty quick. Im somewhat confident that by the end of the RCD run we will have at least split the difference. The question is what happens after? We need the continuous build. If Irving could cut the build time in half would they just run out of work?

If they lose HMS Richmond and HMS Kent this year as rumoured they will be down to 5 Type 23s

impressive usage in one week

the UK is hoping to get construction down to 66 months eventually @Oldgateboatdriver guesstimate seems reasonable if not a little optimistic for first of class for us/Irving

what can we do to pick up the slack here? Aluminum sulphur

he'd be better off with a trial run starting anytime now

previously I quoted a navylookout article where they state the weight margin is around 450 tonnes we are less the 48 sea ceptors and 2 CIWS but maybe no torpedoes or NSM on the type 26? 2 SeaRam in place of the 2 CIWS? the Aussies have replaced 24 sea ceptors with an 8 cell Mk41 maybe we can do...

if we go MV-75 might be a case for a hi-low mix MV-75 assembled in Montreal H-175 assembled in Fort Erie but we are already likely getting 60s to throw in the mix

what do we do if the UK dumps the monarchy before us?

Is the addition of the L band worth it in your opinion? How many ships are utilizing L band as well as S and X?
