How is that affected by LO? And why do you need an F-35 for this instead of any other aircraft?

Can you point out just how relevant LO is in locating and identifying ships with aircraft?

Is the rumour about Davie burning out every Ops room on the TRUMPs true?

Unfortunately they're backing down on installing the stand-by turbines due to NIMBY's. One just got cancelled in Oakville.

No, there were multiple links referring to the same opinion poll done by one person. That's a big difference from "multiple sources".

It pretty thoroughly debunks the vast majority of scientists part. Unless there are so few scientists that 258 is a "vast majority".

Now that is hilarious!  :D

It hasn't worked out well with the Victorias.

The Harpoon capability removal from the Victoria's went a bit beyond "normal" standardisation. The RN has it's own weapon and tube patterns that are pretty much incompatible with the USN patterns that we use. For example, even though the tubes are the same size, the weapon umbilical cable...

How do you figure that? There are going to be a lot of systems on that ship that aren't in any other Canadian ship or shore establishment. TThat crew figure is for RFA. You'd need a much larger crew for naval operations unless you crewed it with the same outfit (CFNAS?) that mans the Glen tugs...

I don't think the boats can be called a major failure, although I don't think they could be called a major success either. They had a lot of design and construction problems, along with spares issues. The layup didn't help but wasn't a significant factor. They should be working as well as...

You'd need to carry whatever module you plan to deploy with through at least pre-deployment WUPS in order to effectively use it. Switching modules in the middle of a deployment isn't likely. You can whip up a simulation to make any idea look bad. That doesn't mean it's a bad idea outside that...

Apparently most of our foreign aid in Africa has been pared down to Ethiopia Ghana Mali Mozambique Senegal Sudan Tanzania Is it possible to get their voting record from the UN on this?

There isn't going to be a whole lot of money left in the capital budget after the F-35's are paid for, even with accrual accounting.

So this is what aircrew do when they're not flying.... http://www.buzzfeed.com/lookoverthere/japanese-airforce-demonstration-j9q

It might even be 10% more for the 4000 ton frigate. It costs a lot to bend waveguide and pipe to fit into a smaller space.

I'm not surprised on the pride thing. We were all very proud of serving on those boats. However, they had a lot of design weirdness. Things like a shared lube oil tank for both diesels...if one diesel chewed up something, you couldn't operate the other one until all of the bits had been found...

If by "sterling" you mean "constantly broke down", then yes they were sterling. The Upholders problems started long long before they were laid up, and had their roots in a previous set of British budget troubles.

A properly running diesel doesn't produce that much CO. You need to have an extreme event such as an engine run-on to produce large quantities of CO. The small amount of CO that's produced as part of a normal diesel engine combustion doesn't affect SSK ops because the air is exchanged as the...

I always enjoyed them. Especially washed down with a nice red on Super All-Nighters.
