I can’t disagree, though I am taking issue with the way the US is currently handling the situation. I’m not sure threats of annexation and crippling tariffs are the way I’d go about it. We really need to concentrate on doing better as a partner for our own sake too. I obviously don’t have...

I’m convinced that’s true.

Maybe they’re freeing up space because they anticipate Trump trying to shove a few FREEDOM class down our throats as an appeasement to keep tariffs at bay. Neatly sidesteps the NSS issues, if one of the yards gets a contract to deal with the propulsion issues and fit them out for Canadian use...

Well, I don’t think you want to be promoting cigarette smoking, unless you meant something else??? 😉

A beautiful ship that looks even prettier in the water. Lovely lines for an AOR.

It’s the automotive equivalent of the Flowbee…

I remember going to the Ottawa Auto Show, ages ago, and they had a Lada Samara (Sport Coupe 😂) on a turntable display. I can tell you that I’ve smelled horse sweat sweeter than the inside of that car. There was also a gap on the left side of the closed deck lid large enough to throw a cat...

If I could live in a perfect world, I’d pick the sweet lines of a Trabant, with the reliable, underpowered mosquito killer Lada engine…

A synthesis of the two countries is a better outcome than absorption of one over the other, regardless of who annexes who (I get we’re not in the position to do this, BTW), but I can’t see that being real smooth either. Neither Canadians nor Americans are super keen on being referred to as their...

I can’t imagine this being a legit scenario, becoming part of USA. If it were to happen democratically, it would require some kind of national referendum that would probably not pass, not to mention whatever would happen provincially. Possibly, as was mentioned earlier, due to some unity crisis...

I didn’t check my autocorrect…I meant for it to say HMCS PERPETUATE

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…
