    CFB Gagetown now called 5th Canadian Div Support Base

    Keep the physical structures and locations the same name.  Rename the ASGs into DISCOMs or whatever they dream up. As I voted on the CTV poll at the link, Gagetown is Gagetown.  Nuff said.

    1 Air Movements Squadron

    Thanks for making that clear.

    1 Air Movements Squadron

    Quick question:  Is 1 Air Movements Squadron in Winnipeg (formerly Edmonton) still an active unit or has it been disbanded?  And what about any of the other movements units outside 2 AMS in Trenton?

    Fates of former armouries

    And D Company of the Lincoln and Welland Regiment.  As soon as the armoury was declared surplus, D Company was stood down and C Company stood up in Welland.

    .905 Calibre rifle created

    Man!  That is one MEAN SOB! I wonder what the tactical range of something like that would be.

    USN Zumwalt Launched

    That is a really odd-looking ship.  It's amazing what progress produces, ne?

    Fates of former armouries

    I would suspect "A" Company of the Lanark and Renfrew Scottish Regiment; they were shifted from Renfrew to Pembroke in 1970 according to The Canadian Militia.

    USN Admiral returns WW2-era IJA flag to Japan

    A big BZ to RADM Caldwell for doing something like that.  A flag of that nature deserves to be in the hands of the original owner's relatives or a shrine.  :salute:

    National identity, how do you identify?

    To non-Canadians, I'm Canadian. To Canadians, I'm an Ontarian. To Ontarians, I'm a Wellander. 'Nuff said.

    Kate Middleton, Duchess of Cambridge, Has Baby Boy

    So he would King Alexander I and IV, using the Wikipedia format of identifying numerical designations for both England and Scotland. *nods*  Nice.

    Ten Year Old Girl Rescued By 424 Sqn

    Big BZ to the boys of 424!

    Kate Middleton, Duchess of Cambridge, Has Baby Boy

    Now, if the baby's grandfather doesn't become King George VII (as some have hinted he might do), this child may be the next King George or the first King Alexander or King Louis.

    Battle Honours for HMCS la Hulloise

    Yeah, I saw this website.  Didn't really help in what I was looking for, though.  Thanks again.

    Battle Honours for HMCS la Hulloise

    Thanks very much, Pat.  It is very appreciated. BTW, much that I don't want to impinge further, but do you have the listing for H.M.C. Ships Prestonian (K662/FFE-307) and Baffin (T275) as well?  I don't need the ship's crest for Prestonian, but the battle honours for both ships would be...

    Battle Honours for HMCS la Hulloise

    Yes, I'm aware of this website; it actually helps out in my writing when I involve units of the CAF past and present.  And yes, I'm also waiting for the website to bring out links to older ships that have been decommissioned . . . but given the mass revamp of the whole DND website, that won't...

    Battle Honours for HMCS la Hulloise

    For those Naval history buffs out there, a question:  What were the battle honours won by HMCS la Hulloise (pendant K668, later FFE-305)?  I've looked everywhere on the Net and can't find a thing. Thanks again!

    CPO2 Mark Burnett and PO1 Rick Payne

    Rest in Peace, good sailors.  Your work is all done here.  :salute:

    NATYNCZYK NEW CANADIAN SPACE AGENCY BOSS

    What knowledge does the former CDS have about space anyway?

    Naval Ensign

    Damn!  Called it right! Then again, it is a simple thing to do with next to no cost at all to the taxpayers. Except for when they have to make the big war ensigns ships love to fly when they're at seas; the types that could drape over half the flight deck of a Halifax-class ship.
