    Littoral Operations

    Stupid question from an ignoramus here, concerning HIMARS: Is there mid flight guidance or terminal guidance on the projectiles? Here's why I ask: An average cargo ship these days will be proceeding along at about 16 Kts: In those 5 to 10 minutes, it will have move between 1.3 and 2.6 NM...

    Or, as I keep telling people: They are sent to jail AS punishment, not FOR punishment.

    Accidents involving Emergency Vehicles

    Your understanding of the realities of civil damage for a case like this is correct, few settlements in Canada are in the single million dollars or more, most are below, and very few have more than two or three millions. You'd have to have killed Taylor Swift and be faced with the claim of her...

    Accidents involving Emergency Vehicles

    I'd say (by experience) that about 90% of civil lawsuits, regardless of parties, are settled out of court, most before it even goes to trial, especially in provinces that have public compulsory auto insurance plans, like B.C. and Qc. Even more so in provinces that don't have civil trials by...

    Is that map from WWII? It looks like Air coverage of the Battle of the Atlantic in 1942.

    Canadian River Class Destroyer Megathread

    It's been done since forever: It's called ballast. Usually comes in two forms: the best known one, water, which can be pumped in or out as need be to compensate for the ship various states of loading, and the second, solid ballast, usually steel or iron (sometimes referred to as "pig iron")...

    Iran Super Thread- Merged

    That's not the reason. The reason is "It's not compatible with the Arab's character: it's not "manly"." There is nothing flashy about mine clearance. Mine clearance is slow, boring, tedious, but needs to be meticulous, detailed, intellectual and requires vigilance and constant attention to...

    Canada to Spend $5.0Bil on AEW Aircraft (Saab Globaleye)

    If the Swedish system fits in a Global 600 or 650, and you want range for the Arctic, could it not be fitted in an Airbus A220-300 that then get some extended range (extra belly tanks using the room available but not needed for the cabin or electronics?

    Trump administration 2024-2028

    QV, I believe Altair may have been referring to a woman's right to control her own body (i.e. abortion rights), which is all over the map as a result of Roe v. Wade being overturned, said map being covered not only with different colours and nuances of colours, but with some of the clearly...

    Trump administration 2024-2028

    No. The "claim" of an EX- boyfriend should be taken as just that: a "claim" (not a fact) and form an "ex", who most likely has an ax to grind. Let him bring outside proof of this fact relying on something else than just his own testimony about that. No court, and court of public opinion, should...

    Trump administration 2024-2028

    Well, here's how I view this: She is single, so was the divorced guy. The dating site is legal and when entered willingly and freely by two parties that understand the type of relationship sought at that site, the relationship itself is perfectly legal. So what is the big deal, and why would it...
