Saw that thanks. Interesting vessel. Would 4 be enough for the RCN?

The role(s) currently associated with the MCDV are quickly changing due to technological advances. Replacing the MCDVs will not be with a similar vessel but rather 2 different ones. An inshore patrol vessel (small fast corvette (a la Visby) and an offshore mine hunting "mothership". Only my...

In reality the future of minehunting looks like the need will be for a "mothership" that will deploy, recover and service all kinds of autonomous deep sea mine hunting systems. So maybe something along the line of a modified/militarized platform support vessel.

Why not something with 60 days endurance instead of 21? USCG new Cutter

The KSS-III line is operational now. it is not a paper sub. They are building #4 out of 9 planned. There's time to plan for Canada's requirements and implement them into the design (such as strengthening the mast for ice). It takes 2 yrs to build and 3 further years to commission. In theory they...

Canada may be better served with South Korean KSS III batch 2. 89m, range of 19,000km, but can only stay submerged for 20 days. There are 10 vertical launch tubes which is not an option Canada is looking for but could be replaced with a Slowpoke reactor. The S Koreans may be interested in the...

Is the codpiece standard issue too?

Here's something else you'll never see in Canada - Opposition Leader Peter Dutton said the Coalition would support the submarine deal "come hell or high water".-

$13 billion a year for 30 years for 3 subs with all the accoutrements ?? Crikey!

Geez! That gentleman on the far left is a mountain in uniform! You could likely get pretty mouthy in a bar if he was standing beside you. Of course it likely would cost you a lot of beers to keep him standing beside you.

"The LHS, 47 percent of the SMP fleet (approx 705 trucks), is designed to load, transport, and offload 20-foot ISO containers up to the load carrying limit of 9,500 kg". Canadian Army Today May, 2018

Correct me if I'm wrong (and I'm sure someone will :sneaky:) but TEUs are not to spend their time on a truck but rather only during transport then dropped off thereby freeing the truck to get another and another etc. If a TEU needs to be moved then the closest truck can pick it up. If that...

Built by Mack / Kerax. Not sure if it was included in the MSVS program.

Within the same train of thought

"no matter" missed the edit time limit

It's still the Davies family not matter how they label it.

From some photos I've seen some fuel tanks, with a built in pump, are built into a frame which is the same dimensions and attachment points as seacans. Wouldn't this allow for a truck to drop it at a refueling point then return to get a second which would be dropped at the same point. They could...

How many fuel trucks are needed to support a Leopard 2 brigade?

How are the Leo's refueled? The same manner would apply to the Abrams would it not? Different fuel (or not?) but same logistics vehicles.
