I must be having a brain fart, but I can't seem to get co-ordinates from Goggle earth. I can enter them, but, having found somthing interesting, can't send it on. Any help?

It only Loads or unloads from the rear. The smaller door is used for minelaying, or to stream a VDS.(salmon, I believe). The ship also uses 'plug and play' interfaces to the radar and other electronics systems. I will post a better synopsis this weekend, when I find my back issue to Jane's IDR...

The Absalon has Harpoon embarked as representative of a land attack missile. I know that the Danes upgraded their harpoons with GPS for land attack(block 3?) but how capable this is, I do not know. What I do like is the modularity of the weapons systems. For example The ESSM launchers on the...

Firing basic charges was part of my AIC course, and, I was told, one had to complete 2 'exercises' with the CAR (Involving jumps of course) to earn your white wings in the QOR. Of course, this was 20 years ago. "The man with a 2, is a friend to you"

I found some pictures of the Absalon trial loading of vehicles ( inc Leo2A5) and I thought they may be of some interest.

Does anyone know anything about the background of the 64 pattern "webgear"? Why it was designed the way it was? I seem to also recall a large soft pack, that had a tumpline (sp?) attached to it. What the heck was that for?

So, did anyone take a look? What did you think?

I find it interesting that the Danish navy is replacing it's Niels Juels class corvettes with a follow-on to the Absalon class (smaller flex deck, greater weapons). As an aside, I recall reading an article in Jane's Defense Weekly on this ship that if it was stationed in the Great Belt and...

Interested in locating two characters from the late 80's. Bruce Arnot Lee was in 2CER (capt?) the last I heard, and Wilson Herdman ( I may have spelled the last name wrong) was an Armoured officer in Edmonton around that time. Thanks loads.

How many ammunition depots does the CF have? I remember CFAD at Borden, and one out west somewhere, but thats it. ( I guess my brain has calcified ).

This may be of some interest, the Danish Navy ship Absalon, will visit Halifax on the 28th of Oct. http://www.ambottawa.um.dk/en/servicemenu/News/NewDanishSupportShipABSALONtodockinHalifaxonOctober282005.htm

I had an odd experience at York during the first Gulf war. I was in a pub on campus drinking, when the bombing started. With the exception of one individual, about 40 people started cheering. Sounds like the place has gone downhill.
