BC folks seem to be a higher % of the west coast as well. It makes sense. I suspect if one were to look at the Army, a larger % would be central/western Canadians as the army is present and visible in those communities.

This is one of the discussions in the RCN regarding drone warfare and why the mission bay on the RCD's is so important (and why the RCN is extremely resistant to removing it in favour of more VLS). If something doesn't work unload it and replace it with something that does. You can iterate...

Many Quebecers won't join the navy because they don't want to leave Quebec. This is one of the reasons we have a higher % of female to male French sailors over the english ratio. Because female Quebecers consistently in many polls and data show they are not as resistant in leaving their home...

2022 we gave the outgoing Command Chief a shell casing with a 3d printed shell in it. It had the date of his first day at sea and the date of his last day at sea engraved on it (which was the sail with us). As he was WENG TECH of some flavour originally the CSE Dept of course did all the work...

I thought you meant that you were gonna yell at him about some gripe. Maybe both "Hello CRNC... you are a stupid head! and heres a gift.

*Russian bear...

At a specific angle. Of which the BB would try to be at range to have the enemy shells hit their armour belt at. One of the reason bombs worked so well, and why some missiles have a popup attack. The ships deck isn't nearly as armoured as the sides (or guns).

The RCN is perfectly happy with both submarines. They both meet the minimum capabilities. AI generated but I checked and there are no AI hallucinations in the data: Key Selection Factors Sustainment (50%): How well the company can maintain and support the fleet long-term, including crew...

That's the most recent version of the mast that I've seen.

I dunno about a few dozen, but it will be guaranteed that some folks will find their way across. Just like we'll have Cdn Sailors on USN ships for the combat systems famil at some point.

New BMQ location is Aldershot NS, same as for Borden ON. I assume Maritimers will end up in Aldershot. It's certainly going to cover the next 5ish years, and that might be just what we need in some trades. Preach.

Build what cars for whom? For the Canadian market only as the US is showing it doesn't want cars made outside of the US itself? The only business case I see for that is building Korean or German cars for the Canadian market instead in importing them, which might be a small volume, expensive...

240 was the right choice. It looks real good on there.

Observe for sure. Ours will be more Canadian build.

HDW can carry more mine removal gear and pers than the MCDV's could. They have already trialed the ship with the decompression chamber, Dive gear and UAV gear all loaded on a single ship (normally that was two or three MCDV's together). The only disadvantage is that its a long way to the water...

Perhaps... and I'm just spitballing, a submarine recovery/rescue ship could do the underwater infrastructure job as well. I suspect there is overlapping equipment.

Recruiting is doing its part in the mission. CFLRS is filling up every serial. And we aren't cheating this year either (like last year when we stole SIP from this year to do it). Are we missing some trades? Yes. Some are very difficult to fill up. But we can't recruit more than the...

I agree with this correction. Not only is crewed a more nautical and air force term, it is an accurate term (IMHO). Crewed means someone is in the aircraft. Manned means someone is controlling the aircraft. Crewed also refers to whole of vehicles, manned refers to stations/positions within...

They could displace it yes. But US shale could run out of steam, Russian oil could end full off the market, they could find more oil in X country and so on etc... It is what it is. I don't think the current US gov't is organized enough to exploit this despite DJ's "were going to take their...

For sure there will be an impact. Though the US might be going into a long term guerrilla war situation. Its going to take years to get the oil running properly again and the movement to the coast from inland goes through a mountain range with two tunnels. Trump will be long gone before this...
