Just the one launcher then for RAM?

I would also assume it’s for redundancy purposes?

What, no USS STORMY??

I’m just hoping it sticks and that the stink of past political changeability hasn’t jaded industry in the same way as it has many of us on these threads. To be clear, I’m cautiously optimistic myself. There’s evidence of much more engagement with industry as of late, though it seemed as even...

It’s not me that you’ll have to convince, unfortunately. It’ll be risk averse capitalists that’ll have to buy in.

But can you get investors to believe the money will continue to rain down? I’m certain many of them are skittish that a change of governments (either here or elsewhere) will interrupt that flow and all their efforts (read investments) will be undone. I’m sure that’s sunk businesses before.

We also have them on buses and billboards in Ottawa.

Not to mention radar, other sensors and EW suites etc…How fast could you realistically put your hands on the rest of the package beyond hulls and weapons.

Like, the Bombardier 600, you mean??? 😜

That’s the one I was referring to. It is replacing the ARUN class and is about 15’ longer than the CAPE class.

I keep coming back to the CCG Bay class. But, i don’t believe it has any berths for longer duration missions.

Yes, that’s actually the class I meant to reference, rather than the Capes. I believe they’re predominantly made at Hike and Forillon and so shouldn’t be a drag on any of the big boys to try and fit into their build schedules. Can you speak to their seakeeping in big water, like North Atlantic...

I had a question regarding possible vessels for this proposal. Would there be any sense in using the same 47’ Cape Class Life Boat as the CCG, at least on the lakes/Seaway, or is that too small for the role?

St John’s or Goose Bay possibly?

I think the problem there again would be speed. They make about 8 kts less than what Topshee says they’re looking for.

If this pointless bastard hadn’t thrown so much fuel on the fire, it’s unlikely there would be any doubt as to the F 35 purchase. His mouthy, counterintuitive “diplomacy” has made it politically and practically unpalatable for a large percentage of Canadians to keep buying American kit. If I...

I believe he was referring to the Globaleyes…

So, like these guys, then??

Patiently waiting to hear if there’s an upside….?

That would at least give the main weapon an air burst capability and a higher max elevation to engage drones.
