Why replace the .50's on the Kingston's with the Bushmaster?  Aren't they different weapons for different functions?

Here is a new development on a replacement option for the Tutor.  Two companies have put together a proposal for 18 Swiss Hawks. http://www.arinc.com/news/2006/11-07b-06.html George

Here's a photo I found.

2 VC's awarded to men from St. Catharines will be on display together for the first time for 9 days from November 4-12, 2006.  There are a number of activities planned around these medals.  Check out the link for all of the info. http://www.stcatharineslock3museum.ca/VictoriaCross.htm George

From the cadet site it says that the Navy will accept the first one into service on November 17th.

Sounds great!  Nice to hear that things are moving along well as planned.  Do we know what the first one will be christened?  Unofficially of course. ;)

Well, does anyone have any more current news on our latest vessel?  Have they untied her from the wharf yet and taken her out to sea?  Has anybody been aboard lately to look at her.  Is she complete yet?  Navymich?  Any news that fit to tell?

IIRC it is manufactured by a Canadian company but I can't recall the name.

The Toronto Star ran an article on this company on August 25th, 2006 in which it states that this model of armored car by Armet is in service with both the Canadian and American militaries...

Not in any particular order: Saving Private Ryan Band of Brothers Breaker Morant  ("We read them rule .303") Murphy's War Just watched "The Dam Busters" and the cinematrography of the Lancasters in formation low and fast is terrific.

Can the Kingston's be used as diving support vessels?  I like the idea of dedicating them to specific tasks.  Were all of the support modules ever purchased for them?  CASR seems to think that at the time the Navy wanted modest vessels devoted primarily to anti-mine warfare and that's what they...

George,   I will if you will.  You show me yours and I'll show you mine.   I don't want to get in an argument with you over this.  We can agree to disagree.  All of my wife's family vote Liberal.  I am usually the only Conservative in the group (12 adults) at family gatherings.  I still love...

I think we are getting too off topic here and the tone is getting un-friendly.  While I do not think that anyone who wears a uniform should be taking photos of a vessel under construction if they are worried about their security clearance I do not think there is any risk to "security" by doing...

I can see that taking a picture of a Navy vessel could be seen a risk to the security of the vessel and crew  but I think in this case (and in all other cases, I can't think of any exceptions) there really is no greater risk to the future security of this class of vessels as there is to any...

Navymich - those sites you show do not offer much in terms of new info.  I have visited them all a hundred times.  For real up-to-the-minute kind of info I am looking for army.ca is the only place.  Re-reading the press release from DND from Nove 2004 is of little value now.  I was hoping that...

Does anyone have any other photos or know of where I can view some.  These are the first new vessels for the Navy in a long time and they are important ones.  I can't wait to see them in the water!  One of the posters on the Cadet World forum mentioned that she had taken pictures of the...

On the Cadet World site there is a picture of an Orca sitting outdoors just afterit has been painted.  www.cadet-world.com I will try to attach the photo Sorry can't figure out how to do it.  If anyone wants to give me any tips then I can try again.
