Clean up the above deck area for radar obfuscation purposes, mount a RAM launcher where the phalanx is…couple of 30mm on the bridge wings. Turn the hangar into an Unmanned bar and workshop. Dandy, I’d say.

Need to get the crew numbers down, by how many I clearly don't know but we can't go forward with a dozen or more 220+ crewed GPF's - in addition to all the Rivers, Type 212CD's AOPV's, etc coming down the pipe.

For sure. There’s also berthing for 440’ 4700t ships. There’s the question of GT’s and diesels. Lots of ship for the envisioned role, maybe too much. But the flip side is a proven design that has stood the test of time. It’s a nice benchmark, but probably a bit overkill.

RCD program is still going on. They aren't cancelling it. However the replacement of the HFX by RCD may not meet the timeline. As such perhaps the CDC needs to be bulked up to help mitigate the delta. Or perhaps a Corvette is just to small with not enough endurance for our waters (more likely).

Thus CDC is getting re-evaluated.

As for Arctic Mobile Base, I never thought that was going to be a thing. But it was an idea that probably needed to be looked at, at a minimum to shut up some loud people who don't understand the arctic.

That is something neither of us are qualified to answer. Id suggest yes, you seem to suggest no. All I know is you still need armies to win wars and that our foreign policy is to be able to defend our NATO allies. At the end of the day, that means dudes killing people. We'll see what comes out in the next defence policy. Maybe that changes.

The only war we should be making 90% of our effort to fight is one that could happen here. And for that we need a much bigger part time army and an airforce that can lift a lot of equipment. Our defence policy of the past 75 years to first defend other countries is just not facing the reality of our … lol … dangerous and divided world.
