They are building another factory

Likely the result of the “Peace Dividend “ following the end of the Cold War. Countries slashed their defense budgets and lost much of the skilled labour, researchers, project planers and engineers needed to run complex projects.

There is no F/T-7 variant. Given all the delays to the trainer, I don’t believe USAF ever issued an RFI for a fighter variant.

E2 also doesn’t have any range. It would require a dedicated tanker.

From USNI news: Korea Submarine Update On Wednesday, South Korean President Lee Jae Myung said the Republic of Korea Navy wants to build its planned fleet of nuclear-powered attack boats at home rather than in the U.S. Speaking to foreign reporters in Seoul, Lee affirmed comments last month...

From the journal 4 Domes were fabricated: Windsor , Corner Brook, Victoria and 1 spare.

The fact that most of our fleets are viewed as antiques certainly doesn’t help. The RCAF is trying to attract recruits in their 20’s to fly aircraft that are in their 30’s or older. Good grief. The same can be said about the navy and army. We don’t even have enough housing for the current...

I’m not sure what Bay class you are referring to. The current CCG bay class has 18 vessels in service with 2 more coming. Built by Hike Metal & Wheatley Chantier. https://inter-j02.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/fdat/vessels/152

Seaspan posted a video of Preserver’s bow being moved into place:

And how old are your friends.? I always thought the Japanese were the longest living people. How wrong I am, they were right here all along. But then my mother is 101 and still going.

The LCS and Constellation class are both manufactured on Lake Michigan and carry the Bofors 57. Our Halifax that typical cruise the Great Lakes for recruiting late summer, as we all know sports the 57. You know what’s not included in the agreement are missiles, torpedoes, lasers, hatchets, etc...

5-1/2 months for raping a child. Should be years not months. Should also be mandatory neutering……….without anaesthetic.

He already has that with NSS. The gift that keeps giving. Fleecing the taxpayers since 2011. Build the 9 Hero’s. Get a bucket of money from N.S. to build new facilities. Build 6 AOPS over budget. Cry that they will lay off till CSC can be built. Given contract for 2 more AOPS for CCG. Demand...

That can’t possibly still apply. Marinette Marine is building (Little Crappy Ships & Constellation) warships on Lake Michigan. During the war years both countries built loads of war ships on the Great Lakes and trained on the Great Lakes.

But maybe our subs could….

Sad fact. CF-18 was ordered and began deliveries by P.E.T. government. 7 Prime Ministers later its replacement was ordered by his son. 8 Prime Ministers later the F-35 deliveries begin. Yeesh.

And ORCA’s are possibly been replaced in larger number. Keep in mind the Kingston class is being payed off.

We are also adding a capability that we never had of our own; AEW&C aircraft. Yes, we contributed to NATO’s E3 program.

Just noticed I typed an incorrect number. We have 5 Polaris not 3. My dog likes to help sometimes. Apologies. Still we are getting twice the number of aircraft available for AAR or troop transport, plus they are higher capacity and will be able to support both types of AAR. Truly a win-win.

In some areas we are getting larger numbers: 9 Huskies to replace 3 Polaris. 16 (possibly more) P-8 Poseidon to replace 14 Auroras, adding 11 of MQ9B Guardians. Helicopters , I’m not sure where that is headed. There’s a thread for that. The size of the F35 fleet was sized to NORAD and NATO...
