IMHO, if you're a sailor in a purple trade (cook/medic/clerk/etc) posted to a land or air unit, wear cadpat. If you're a hard sea trade, wear those comfy hull tech pj's at sea and a pusser set of NCD's alongside. Sailors should look like sailors..not like a condiment. ;D
The 280's sort of remind me of a Cat's Cradle...never-ending manoeuvering in an attempt to get out, and then somehow you end up back where you started...*shrug*...I guess I'll see you onboard, HFXCrow! :D
The bus system that CCS uses was replaced with the INDB (Inertial Navigation Data Bus) on the 280's - much more reliable and easy to maintain - which is now being replaced by the NDDS (Navigation Data Distribution System) - an even BETTER, faster, up-to-date system bringing a state of the art...
...we're also part of the FELEX upgrade, with the new NavDDS replacing CCS (exciting news for NET(A)'s!) as it is on ATHAB. Either way, long or short, this time in refit is necessary and well overdue, IMHO.
280 Ladies! :salute:
