    New Canadian Shipbuilding Strategy

    My point is that most bloggers here expect 12 subs to be a given. The government has not promised 12. 12 is what they are aiming for but in 10 years when a handful are delivered; expect the mood and budget to change. Remember back in Mulroney’s day we were expecting nuc subs and 18 city class...

    New Canadian Shipbuilding Strategy

    Just to remind everyone, the government has said up to 12 subs. Government’s policies change according to which way the wind is blowing. Expect 8 or 9 subs. If we order from SK expect from 2032 on 1 per year. That takes us to 2040 for 9. I doubt that come the mid to late 2030’s that the...

    Or maybe an improved Collins as an interim so that work force can come up to speed if Aukus ever materializes.

    But did you ever stay at a Holiday Inn Express? I did. Therefore automatic Phd. The closest i got to naval architecture was spending about 2 days on the design of a bridge trainer for the navy.

    It doesn’t start and you have to take the air filter off to spray some flammable substance into the carb and hope not to get burned . Kinda like spraying bbq lighter fluid onto hot coals.

    FWSAR (CC130H, Buffalo, C27J, V22): Status & Possibilities

    Firefighting makes the most sense especially given that the western provinces don’t have enough capacity and Viking/deHavilland are years away from deliveries of additional aircraft.

    New Canadian Shipbuilding Strategy

    I had the same thoughts. To me it doesn’t make sense especially in light of Newdock in St. John’s improvements.

    New Canadian Shipbuilding Strategy

    FIFY Topshee said he needs a minimum of 20 surface combatants. I’m sure the politicians heard: “We only need 20 surface combatants “.

    Topshee has indicated that he doesn’t want a crewed vehicle. I’ll try to find the interview where he stated something to that effect.

    2025 U.S. - Venezuela conflict

    Yes, same with Great Lakes but that pipeline in the past was supplied with Venezuela oil but line was reversed to use Alberta oil. I expect the North South lines from Alberta that go to the Gulf will be reversed but not the East West. Trump will make it a law just like he has forced a defunct...

    For now they don’t need to improve the infrastructure. Instead of supplying China, etc just redirect it to refineries in Texas that are operating below capacity.

    I think RCN is holding off on further names to give corporate sponsors a chance to put their names on them. HMCS (Jolly?) Rogers, HMCS Weston or better HMCS Shoppers Drug Mart…
