Hmmm, while I don't think they shoot at USN ships, they will shoot at any fishing vessel or other vessels including other Coast Guards trying to protect vessels carrying their flags in contested waters...

Must be a lot of fun for the crew to be the ones "Writing the book" on procedures for the entire class of vessels, not something everyone gets to do in their career. I suspect morale is quite high onboard.

I can remember the first time I used Google Earth, I was utterly blown away, the ability to see anywhere on earth in detail. Free to use. There had never been anything like it before, it revolutionized my work, the way I get around, it affects everyone on the planet whether they know or not. All...

They also have a Discovery centre where school kids learn about their upcoming duties under national Service https://www.sdc.com.sg/about/story. It's quite impressive and would shock many of the educators here for it's nationalistic and military messaging. I know several ex-Singaporean Army...

With every new Minister it's likley memo format and fonts will change, if your writing memo's for Cabinet or your Minister/DM, be prepared to change memo formats often.

The coastal highway they are building is staggering in it's engineering and vision https://www.vegvesen.no/en/roads/Roads+and+bridges/Road+projects/e39coastalhighwayroute

Frankly I think he would do an excellent job, his wife not so much. Of course the irony of it would be interesting.

It would certainly be politically perfect for them, lot`s of political capital, with minimal actual costs.

the Criteria being "How much money are you willing to spend in Canada?"

Likely we buy the used Sōryū class,
