Good. With all the hullabaloo about Epstein and his files, the only person that seems to have gone to jail is his 'compatriot' Maxwell....who seems to have been involved in sex-trafficking to....no-one....? If the system is so rife with evil people that prosecuting them will 'make the system...

I'd put money on Davie having their eyes on a submarine rescue capability down the road too. That's something that their Federal Fleet Services group could provide, and it'd be available for international assistance as well. Probably something they could deliver much faster than the RCN could...

No, it was a Ranger from my CAFSAC days who mentioned it.

Final coat of primer today....I'm pleased with that I think. Compare how the bow looked originally.... Next week should see that become blue...and gray. Shaft lines will get installed....she's gonna look PURDY!!!!

One of the SK subs was scheduled to visit Canada in the next couple of months, wasn't it? Imagine if they sent it over to start training crews right away....? That'd be a stunning tour de force....

Rumours abound that the 'modified handgun' is actually a KRISS Vector.

Sanded, and the Primer coat looks great but there's still some spots that need some TLC - so - more putty - we'll see what that looks like after a bit more sanding.

Doesn't look like much, but this is with 4 coats of resin, putty, and much sanding. I expect that tomorrow will see a layer of primer applied. :-)

Somewhere I have a picture of a .30 Browning mounted on the roof of a golf-cart up at Connaught Ranges....

My kids drive the CRV now...I'd rather have them on my Tacoma. :-) Make it a Technical!

From a Canadian Ranger contact on Faceboook, I understand that one of the kids that was murdered may have been a Junior Ranger. :cry:

The version I heard involved beer as well......

I heard tell of that back in the day - as the story went, the crew was bussed up on Friday from Halifax, got in late Friday night when the strikers went home, spent the weekend loading the ship up with all of their parts/bits sitting on the jetty, then the tugs arrived from Halifax late Sunday...

I use the word sabotage in the work I've seen with my own eyes from ISI.

The first is in Dockyard in the BLog CO's office. The second is in Ottawa with the RCN Command Chief - should end up in his office at some point. They were discussing making a glass display case for it. This one will end up with a rotating gun (built the servo mount yesterday) a functional...

The Type 26 project is moving along well - the 3rd hull is now assembled, sanded and has been given a layer of fiberglass resin. This one is the first that I expect to see the pond - the previous models were static ones that will not be getting wet. I did some design adjustments on the S-92 as...

We are not quite yet at the 'perfect is the enemy of the good enough' point....or are we?

SSBNs provide a persistent presence that a B21 cannot provide....unless they initiate operation Chrome Dome again...

26 years on ships in the Navy, and the Cox'n was always a welcome guest on the bridge, but never can I recall any of them exerting any form of command or directional influence while there (not directly anyhow.) The CO owns his bridge (and his/her ship.) The OOW is granted Charge of the ship...

Speaking as a Tech - the problem is that they let the magic smoke out. The Magic Smoke can only be put back in under special circumstances involving the light of the moon, unicorns, and trolls. We will not discuss any of this further in public because the trolls get unhappy if you get into...
