    The Arctic

    No, you can see the old ROW to Port Nelson and it goes all the way, this one is much further North and is only about 11.8km long. Might have been to access material from a quarry/borrow pit?

    Reliance on the ME, like Russia has been Europe's Achilles heel. Poland moved away from Russia re LNG, but increased it's risk with the ME.

    Building a road and a pipeline ROW to Churchill will make sense in the long term and open the area up for more development.

    Continental Defence Corvette

    Hunter Class added a bit of length and beam to accommodate what the Aussies wanted. Most people think those changes are going to cost them in speed. But if they are successful, it's possible the last two batches of RCD's might see those hull form changes incorporated.

    Continental Defence Corvette

    Well if you decide not to keep your ships for a long time , you can do it. The first RCD will be 20+ years old when the final one is completed, I suggest that we sell it off to our allies while it still has a bit of life in it. Then repeat with RCD-Type II, replacing the oldest RCD- Type 1.
