And the 4th one HMCS PRESENCE…

I always thought you were a Commodore? My view of the world has been shaken…

She’s a big girl, isn’t she…That rudder looks gargantuan.

She looks gorgeous! Can’t wait to see her in the water.

Less than “Stellar”…I see what you did there. Seriously, though, I bought a 19 Kia Sorento on the word of a friend who swears by Kia and it has proven to be the best vehicle I have ever owned out of pretty much any brand you can imagine.

Further reading in that USNI article has Dave Mazur ruminating about sending AOPS to the Indo Pacific region…

Are they currently doing any part of this during DWP’s or is it just being let to go?

That would fall under the category of less good to hear…

Good to hear the CPF’s are still in demand as a sub hunting platform. I often wondered how effective the still are, given their age and when they were designed.

So, that means if a KINGSTON replacement was to be done, it would either have to be under 1000t, wait until SS or Irv can get to it, go offshore or force the NSPS to change its policy. Not a lot of satisfactory options there…

Does Davie’s current umbrella agreement allow it to build combatants over 1000t or is it strictly set up for icebreakers?

Given the pressure on Canada’s shipyards and the tonnage limits in the NSPS, maybe that KINGSTON RFI gets put further afield and HHI (who has a large number of OPV’s/corvettes in their portfolio) gets a chance to bid too, if even just the hull and the rest gets fitted out here. It would be nice...

I hadn’t seen that. Glad for the clarification.

It could be an even greater disparity in missile count were they to select a single SeaRam system as it only carries 11.

Or even as a replacement for the 25mm?

Well, the Philippines may disagree…

That brings up something I’ve wondered for some time. When an RCN ship is supporting a USCG LEDET in an OP CARIBBE, are there any situations where the RCN takes responsibility/authority on their own, rather than the USCG? I’m unsure of the protocol of who is responsible for what in these...

It’s assuming here that the HERO class would be unsuitable in that role and that CAPE ROGER/CYGNUS are too long in the tooth.

Strange question, that I’ll stipulate right away is probably a no go for any number of reasons, but is there any situation where a CCG vessel could do an MCDV style task, like OP CARIBBE, for example? I know there’s no enforcement authority given to CCG personnel, but that aspect of the gig...
