No. Refueling alongside one another in a sheltered bay or inlet. No underway capability, and no extra stuff like dry stores or ammunition. KISS.

So, you're saying split up and spread the paratroopers evenly in all the platoons.

There are two possible situations here: If the idea behind the depot is to be able to have year round access to fuel for land operations (Rangers/Army/Ground Air), then refueling them the way it is currently done in the Arctic by the summer resupply runs (i.e. civilian tankers that refill them...

The Partridge Family enters the chat.

If you wanted to, the AOPS can already operate both ISTAR and LUCAS drones, and since you don't usually carry a helicopter, you can stow quite a few in the hangar. After that, it becomes a matter of numbers, not improved coverage. Do you need one hundred LUCAS if you only expect to meet one or...

Tonnage doesn't make it "small" or "large". It's tonnage in relation to function of the ship. An icebreaker, at 7,000 tons, is a medium icebreaker. A corvette at 7, 000 tons is large, huge even, while a frigate at 7,000 tons is large while a cruiser would be small, an Aircraft carrier at 7,000...

Yet another wonderful miscalculation by our friendly amateurs next door. He failed to realize that he would be pushing China, Iran, Russia, etc. yet further from the US dollar as the international currency of choice - thus reducing the US's economic capacity to influence international event that...

I worked with one of their "master" before, who was assisting in some Naval Control of Shipping Ex (why, I don't recall). They are Warrant Officers, but you must remember that in the US, the "Warrants" are neither fish nor fowl. They mess with the officers but are not officers, but neither are...

Are we sure it's not an ID mistake: It's five billions for the Admiral's 20 Orca replacements?

OK. One last time: The position of GG is as representative of the King in Canada. As such the position is part of "The Crown in Right of Canada". The only way to touch the Crown in Right of Canada in any of its form is through a constitutional amendment requiring the assent of every single...

You forget that the Holy Roman Empire, was neither Roman, nor Holy, and on top of that wasn't even en Empire.

Well, no one ever claimed that the average New Yorker speaks English.

Quebec has started that way, perhaps because we are the province with the largest number of EV's. Starting next year, EV owners will be charged an extra amount on their tags renewal to cover their part of the road maintenance that used to come out of gas taxes.

Francophone, but bilingual, and a woman .... I give you Captain Clutch: Marie-Philip Poulin. LGBTQ++ on top of everything.

That would be a jagged little pill to swallow.

That's right! We run clean wars over here.

If the Americans want "Europe" (by which, I assume they mean they want "other NATO members") to take over the majority of the conventional forces defence capabilities, can we (Canada) take over SACLANT? Please, please, please.

There has never been any expectation that French Legionnaires can speak. It's a bonus if they can.

As Underway has pointed out before, they slow down in terminal, so they can acquire and correct. I would likely not waste a SM3 or SM6 on those. That's what we have all those lovely ESSM's in quad packs for. All that is after electronic effects has been expanded, and you still have oft kill...

Thanks. Seen. BTW, we know we are under constant surveillance. In the navy, we have no low ground or high ground, only favourable or unfavourable weather - we fight in plain sight. However, to defeat what you mention above - for warships at least - we have quite an extensive electronic...
