Answered above by SeaKingTacco. A submarine rescue ship would be closer to what HMCS CORMORANT looked like.

You feel old? I remember the diving tenders that those one replaced!

Little known fact (and I know this because my uncle was ADM (air) at the department of transport (now Transport Canada) in the early 70's), when "super-airports" hubs were looked at in the late 60's- early 70's, TC concluded that neither Toronto, nor Montreal were big enough to justify a super...

There's a Spanish train that runs between Guadalquivir and old Saville And at dead of night the whistle blows And people hear she's running still And then they hush their children back to sleep Lock the doors, upstairs they creep For it is said that the souls of the dead Fill that train ten...

You start doing that and someone down South will get the bright idea of bombing you.

And easy to remove by the next occupant.

You cannot compare with Vance's situation. CDS or in the US the various Chief of Staffs are political appointments. This is a list for promotion from Captain/Colonel to Brigadier/Rear-Admiral (lower half). They are not political but merit based and the boards make the list purely on merit, with...

There are many possibilities here. It could be that the Chinese have developed technology for multiple expansion masts and periscope (i.e., instead of a single pole with the length of the hull + sail that slides up, one that slide up the size of the hull+ another one nested inside then sliding...

The idea behind the huge expropriations around Mirabel was not to use the land as "airport" but to create, around the airport such a large uninhabited area that no one would ever complain about aircraft noise again (which was, and still is if I look at the people bringing it up again in recent...

How about Mirabel?

Of course not. They were ALL removed as a result of Hegseth's prejudices. It's the whole idea that Hegseth has any business overturning the results of military merit boards for reasons that, on their face, have nothing to do with extraordinary circumstances under which he may remove a name...

London, eh! They'll have to pay the Constable's due.

I note its in an aviation geek club publication. Complete stealth works for aviation because air does not return radar signal: A stealth airplane can disappear from radar because it becomes like air, invisible. The problem with Sea Shadow and the like is that the ocean actually returns radar...

Or, once upon a time, for a short period in naval history, the Admiralty had to deal with the meddling of a certain first Sea Lord/Prime Minister in the naming conventions of the RN for emergency naval construction programs he initiated.

The number of screws is irrelevant to the designation of a ship. The Oliver Hazard Perry's were frigates but they were single screw. Care to guess how many smaller patrol vessels and attack crafts have two, three or even four (the old Short MTB's) screws? UK's super carriers an France's...

I hope everyone understands that this is a self created tribunal not arising from any international agreement nor under the aegis of nay internationally recognized organization (UN, ICC, or any international treaty binding on the international community,etc. etc.) that has no power to issue any...

Well, there is at least one way to bring the automobile sales out of its slump: Reduce their prices by removing all the idiotic tariff imposed on the North American auto sector so that CANUSMEX can get back to freely assemble them as they did before the current administration decide to blow up...

Not just CANFORGEN's. All messages used to be typed (yeah! we actually typed them in those days, on a typewriter, no less, or on teletype) in caps only.

True. But I don't recall ever having kept watch or navigated from up there, unlike the steamers where the actual bridge work was done in open air.
