Noah has written a great article on KSS-III weapons: Lets Talk about the Munitions of the KSS-III

Agreed. The Republican judges are for the most, siding with tRump .

Or not. We need both pronto and can’t afford to delay either. Also BAE Govan/Clyde is most likely to deliver 1st vessel for Norway before Fraser is commissioned.

Not a chance. Doug is not much of a thinker. When he was on Toronto council, he was always at odds with council and couldn’t see beyond his riding whilst covering for his brother (got any coke) Rob.

I had heard the term “Blowing smoke up ones ass” but never understood the origin till now,

The article states that Poland wants cruise missile capability. That leaves the Shortfin and KSS-III. Problem awith the Shortfin is Naval group already has their hands full with Netherlands Orka and Suffren and 3G class. That leaves SK.

I had the same thought. And what on earth for?

Or take them south. There are plenty of gun swaps / shows and plenty of Americans willing to buy.

Surely the RCN isn’t close to fubaring as USN PEO (Zumwalt, Ford, Constellation…)

Sent it to my son-in-law. He is disheartened to find out that my daughter is a lesbian. So am I.

Zero. Back in the day of St Johns Shipyard we tried to sell Halifax’s with little interest. I vaguely remember Irving was trying to sell AOPs too. We can’t compete on price or schedule. Other than CMS330 we bring little to the table in the way of components or systems. Most allies already have...

Red October…nice.

China buys its coal from multiple suppliers, namely Australia and Russia. Canada is small potatoes.

The timing is suspect too. Hamas in Gaza has agreed to free prisoners and Qatar is big supporter of Hamas. Is ICE Barbie going to permit those foreigners on American soil? Is ICE Barbie also on Qatari payroll?

Not sure why he would be nominated when he has declared war on American cities.

Years ago on this blog there were similar complaints about the AOPS. I would have argued for the 57mm only so that there was commonality with Halifax class but I understand that the mk38 is suitable for constabulary duties plus reduced maintenance and ordnance cost.

Just reading about Trump rescuing Argentina after their president praised Trump. I can’t help but wonder if next time Carney meets Trump he should wear some Trump high tops and a limited edition of a Trump watch. And maybe tell tRump what beautiful improvements he is doing to the White House.

It would appear that the USA is taking the threat of foreign ships in their waters extremely serious, that they are taking measures to field them as quickly as possible. They recently converted the Aiviq for Coast guard duties after we turned it down. Using an old car analogy; they’re shifting...

It’s not quite clear but It appears that: 2 ships will be built by Helsinki Shipyard based upon a ship they have built for past customers and that Davie will build 3 of the same in their newly acquired US yard. 2 ships will be built by Rauma in Finland based upon a Seaspan/Aker design and...
