Wow Global, do some checking on your documents WTF is "Braes Bay Road and Ford Project" do you mean "Gray's Bay Road and Port Project"? Text to speak is not an acceptable replacement for typing. Mackenzie Highway super important. Gray's Bay is aspirational, but likely will end up being...

Russians had tank track subs for years in the baltic, crewed though. Baltic is a unique environment for that is the subsurface is well mapped and not overly rugged.

I think that the cut is for two reasons. First Germany needs closer to home protections, the Baltic and North sea, and a large overseas deployable ship isn't something in their strategic wheelhouse anymore. Secondly the 126's were supposed to be AEGIS ships, massive ones at that. More hulls...

I was always of the allowing Turks and Caco's joining the country persuation.

We had a whole conversation on I think this thread (or perhaps the AOPS thread) about how the first mega block had a section of it that was out across the entire ship by ~10mm. Which worked out to 6-5mm on each side. OGBD pointed out that this is pretty standard for first of class, to the...

Everything is inspected. You looked at a cell phone photo. It stretches credibility.

I get it. Iriving has put a lot of resources into developing a training pipeline with the local colleges and trade schools. But a bigger RCN will need more trades period.

There were others besides those ones. As far as 1 and 4A being abandoned, it's not on all ships, and not for all departments. Techs like straight 12s if they can get them or 7 and 5s. You can actually fix a problem instead of turning it over to the next watch.

They will probably do the announcement with all the important people in the room. PM, MoD, Fuhr, CDS, CRCN

Something we are not considering in this conversation is not that Canada provides attractive finished military effectors. We're far more specialized in systems that go into something else (like environmental control systems or sonar recievers). The attraction of Canada for military industry...

Or maybe its just a thing with Luxembourg and we're reading to much into it. This was probably planned two months ago... lol

Why aren't we ordering Eurofighters then, they are still producing them. Why Gripen... Threatening sovereignty caused a reaction. Lets not pretend that the annexation of Canada threat was a joke or a negotiating piece. It was an actual proposition. Just like the Greenland stuff. I doubt...

Both. They also bought Growlers for obvious reasons.

Absolutely fair criticism, but that wasn't what they went after in that post.

Lets ignore the whole economic benefits conversation for a second. I don't get the whole hate on the split fleet thing. Australia does it no problems, its part of their doctrine and has been for years (bomb trucks and air superiority). No reason we can't do a split fleet even with the costs...

Super disingenuous post and clear bias from the OP Tablesalt. So we didn't read the first part of the message? You know that whole part about the building being for preventative maint for vehicles and mutli structured learning environment? If they had of left it like that no one would have...

You are not wrong, however... DRDC work that I personally have seen lead directly to improved CAF missions or equipment: Flight deck management system for RCN/RCAF helicopter operations: No country in the world has a flight deck management system for helicopters operations on small ships...

So they are basically getting 30 x 105mm SPG's that can double as direct fire platforms?

The RCN's own tankers are coming into service starting Dec 2027, though will be in the RCN June 27. Those will be far more capable and we'll have two. Asterix has done a great job. But its time for her to go her own way. There might be an extension for a year or two but that's it.

It's doctrinal, doesn't mean we're gonna do it for no reason. Hell no one is sending proper warships into threatenes boxes right now. Oh I saw it. First rocket attack 10 civi contractors noped right outta there. Self selected out within one week of getting there. Vast majority weren't cowards...
