If we got them they would. Comms.

Payloads not platforms. A KSSIII is a platform. A stealthy platform. That can launch missiles vertically. The payload (aka the type of missiles) in those launchers changes the mission. It can also do all the other normal submarine stuff (kill other subs for example). If those ballistic...

Hudson Bay isn't the NWP. Ice conditions there clearly are different. Ice there is different. And active promotion happens for a lot of things especially when people don't know the third order effects.

The pipeline is coming. But its too friggin slow. The oblig service is long enough though, if they train them faster.

Yes to corvette, No to the mission. Your mission set is wrong. Gowind is around the size I think they are considering for the Continental Defence Corvette project, but that's a warship, with less than 60 crew concept. If the RCN is going to have more ships, they need to be able to fight.

They don't. Plenty do Direct Entry or ROTP through civilian university. The CAF has no problems getting pilots. The CAF has problems training and keeping pilots.

If they spent the money on brining back the gun run it would be a better use of funds for recruiting/attractions/outreach operations. That at least can go anywhere in Canada. *not saying that they should, just pointing out some better alternative "historical and tradition" ideas.

Perfect, good data to use against it. I'm not defending the Oriole, just was brainstorming reasons why it might prove useful. I think it needs to go. Its a regimental senate at this point IMHO.

They are cute, I can see why.

I think he means a short sleaved "outer shirt" option so you can not die a horrible death in the sun. Or perhaps he means a breathable undershirt (not that there is much more breathable than cotton). I would prefer shorts honestly.... get them like the Aussies have.

Sure. It's a cheaper platform to operate than the Orcas that allows sailors to develop multiple seamanship skills. Many Reqs early training packages get signed off. Navigation, seamanship, watch rotations, safety.

I was born on a Friday the 13th. It's a lucky day! (for me)

There is a definitive tonal difference, and certainly a massive difference in urgency. Also a large difference in the relationship with the Premiers, certainly a commitment to work as a team to start.

Yah... its not something that you can just throw away. Especially since they don't really manufacture modules for it anymore. R&O work does make them from scratch when needed, but we are certainly not buying in bulk. 2002 I think it was HMCS Ottawa lost theirs, it was $3 million back then. I...

Get the guillotine! "Sorry sir, it was a risk to personnel and the ship, we had to cut it lose".

Would you prefer a less granular and more circumspect classic politician response? "Well were looking at a lot of options to maximize investment and reduce waste, while not raising taxing and increasing lethality through modularity and networking, with a continuous focus on our people to get...

Don't give the public so much credit. They see grey warship they assume WARship. With guns. 99.99% of the population won't be able to tell the difference between a relatively unarmed AOR and a fully armed Frigate. And they of course will call them boats as well. lol Like you said though...

Normally its a two to one ratio for ships, but in the JSS case you can likely have three or four ships which means two will be available most of the time with only one avail some of the time. Coast really doesn't matter for these ships as far as deployment is concerned. Given a week they can...

I would only quibble that 3 is the minimum. 4 is the perfect number. For sure but people for those ships will be the ultimate in long lead items. By the time those would get built you and I will be long retired. Seaspan has like what... 16 multipurpose CCG ships to build first (and JSS2).
