I miss the Ally G.
She rolled like a pig and you had to keep a rain jacket on the end of your rack to keep the water from the fan cooler unit from soaking your bedding, but there was something about that class of ship that was magnificent.
I suspect that is a unit problem, not a contractor problem.
The small exposure I have has to SATs is that they are reliable and the contractor will fix stuff quickly. If they know about it…
I recall a story from Gulf War 1. Pre-Trump ATH was so overweight from all of the new the stuff being bolted on that everything got landed from the Wardroom, including artwork; books; the piano; panelling and all glassware, cutlery and plates, excepting only one set for each officer onboard...
My sense is that the Russian Navy is much like everyone else: they can run nuclear submarines under the polar ice cap if they want to, but they prefer not to unless they have a really good reason.
That was coup for Canada to get Ryan McBeth to cover HMCS Regina.
He has a pretty big following in the US. Alot of people who might not otherwise think about Canada in a positive light got to to see Ryan going to bat for us.
Warrior Block in Shearwater is built from concrete and is designed to be so durable as to survive a nuclear blast. As is Nelles Block in Esquimalt. Yet, those two buildings are widely considered to be the worst accommodations in the country. Their durability is part of the problem: they are crap...
As a matter of fact…
DND is specifically mandated to do air/sea rescue. In the past, that logically meant the CAF did it.
Now that CCG is part of DND, I wonder….
I know that you know.
There are still folks out there that feel the CAF should, every April, find the nearest phone booth to put our capes on and rush to the rescue of the Provinces.
