    Replacing the Subs

    Be nice for a change that a politically driven choice of kit, also includes good kit. Both subs are excellent in their own way.

    You are correct on the roof of the tank it is not fixed, but floats on top of the liquid.

    It's a shitty deal, that anyone who is a diehard Trump fan is struggling to put lipstick on a pig.

    Replacing the Subs

    Joey Attariwala visits the KSS-III, no interior video but a exterior scene showing the snorkel being raised and lowered. Also a discussion on the heads and how they work.

    Chinese Military,Political and Social Superthread

    All these AI "intimate partners" are a bonanza for intelligence orgs to harvest blackmail material to use against people. Or to hijack the "girlfriend" and have them convince the person to do certain things.

    Pipelines, energy and natural resources

    The blue in the upper left corner is Site C, then you can see Site E and the proposed Amisk dam as well. That came up during the Site C review, but was shelved, not to complicate the review further. However it may still move ahead.

    New Canadian Shipbuilding Strategy

    I am ok with keeping Asterix on contract, till the 2nd JSS is in service, that way we have two AOR's, one on each coast and that gives more berths for training up the next generation of AOR sailors.

    Why does Canada suck at telling its own stories

    Unintentional I think the success of "Saving Private Ryan" and other big graphic war movies has raised the bar so high in regards to special effect, graphic portrayal of combat that few smaller production companies can hope to match or even come close. I grew up on "Combat". That was a show that...

    Iran Super Thread- Merged

    This video breaks down how crappy a deal this is. There is a comment that I think sums it up: The British Empire died in Suez, The American empire dies in Hormuz

    Political impacts of Ukraine war

    There has been "rumours" before, but other events seem to add weight to the possibility, of course a "coup" can be orchestrated by Putin to expose the disloyal (always a risk). I am not holding my breath or putting any money on the table.

    Political impacts of Ukraine war

    Rumours of a pending Coup in Moscow. Even if Putin was successfully removed from power, there is no guarantee that his replacement might not be even more of a hawk than he is. Even if a power faction gained control that wanted peace, I suspect they would not change anything, but start serious...

    Replacing the Subs

    New Canadian Shipbuilding Strategy

    You would likley need the Chief Officer to be a Civilian though, to remind the CO that part of his crew are not military and that they have a union/guild to answer to as well.

    Nevertheless, it was about Canadians in a contemporary conflict, so I give them a B for trying.
