It was meant to be a bit tongue in cheek. I’d love to see how they’d handle security at, say, Iroquois Lock with a nuke boat in transit. Also, it makes any chance of quick response to a perceived threat almost non existent, unless you want it enforcing no wake zones in and out of Cobourg Marina…

Darlington…

It’s on the list, I’m sure.

If it’s anything like the first 4 accepted, it’ll be one busy vessel right out of the gate.

Understood. Wasn’t certain if the Scanter had that ability…I thought I’d read at one point it was capable of tracking air targets as well as for organic helo ops.

Oh yes, I realize that, but I think it’s predominantly for use against small surface targets and unlikely to be effective against airborne threats. I don’t know how likely it is that they will ever face anything like that, but something like the 30mm seemed a good fit with a dual purpose, but...

That’s always been my problem with the 25mm. No airburst ammunition, elevation not terribly useful against airborne targets. It’s kind of a one trick pony. Maybe they’ll get swapped out for Lionfish at some point during the CSC buy.

I think if we were to do anything other than what is the plan right now, the only consideration might be to take Vard/Heddle up on the upgunned Vigilance vessel. At least, as a corvette, it would be less likely to cause a reduction in RIVER class numbers. With its containerized mission sets, it...

I would add AOR’s to that list…

By 2031…

I can only say when he finished up, he went back home to Southern Mississippi and has zero desire to ever go anywhere again. He does some firearms instructor stuff down there, but only as a private citizen in a club.

From what I’ve been told by a Marshal I once knew, it’s great if you like travel and hate putting down roots.

Christ. I’d love to figure out how to fix when I screw up a reply posting… EDIT…Just found the edit feature…

I know this isn’t particularly relevant, but I find the RIVER to be the prettiest of the three. The mast looks the least like an afterthought appendage…

Very impressive…Especially with that rate of fire.

I guess I was just thinking about range as well. The Phalanx is effective at relatively close range, but I was thinking maybe further out. Is there any kind of air burst munitions for the 57 that would be even more effective?

It would be RedBlacks for Ottawa now…

Since we learned that RAM would be part of the CSC program, moving forward, I was wondering if there would be any sense in trying to find room for some version on a HALIFAX? With the emergence of these types of drone threats that we’re seeing in contested waters already, the missile load out on...

I barely noticed them, though to be fair I was trying to outrun the MP’s to Treats for the good folks in NDRLS. The selection was a little slim after the Meatheads descended…

I find myself wondering about speed and range with the Hunter Class. Surely both specs will be lower than River or T26 given same propulsion, more weight, broader beam but not a proportional lengthening of the hull?
