Navy to potentially create training ships on great lakes

[Kirkhill]

The new CCGS BAY CLASS are da bomb, with larger capacity, sink proof rolling capacity, and YES, they would work well, but the CCG Senior Management have fought for years to stay away from Military Style Operations, unlike most of the worlds Coast Guards have adopted, working with their military navies. The CCG Ships Officers (SO) want to stay Civilian, unlike most of their newer Ships Crew (SC) who want to be like the US Coast Guard, armed and uniformed like Sailors, not Merchant Mariners. I can see the CCG will lose Recruiting and Attraction, and will be a big win for the RCN with expanded roles into Central Canadian Rivers and Great Lakes.

These ones?

Further to the discussion about sea states and depths ....

Additional concept

Sea room.

In the middle of the Atlantic you don't have to worry about bumping into stuff when you are blown off course.

At least, so I'm told.

Yes, that’s actually the class I meant to reference, rather than the Capes. I believe they’re predominantly made at Hike and Forillon and so shouldn’t be a drag on any of the big boys to try and fit into their build schedules. Can you speak to their seakeeping in big water, like North Atlantic for example?

As the name suggests, they are great for hanging around the Bays around our Coastlines on the Pacific, with limited use in the Juan De Fuca, Haro, and Georgian Strait. I only got to ride in one of the first ones we took delivery of around Vancouver Island. North Atlantic, especially in the winter months is some rough stuff. You would have to ask one of the CCG Stations on Newfoundland that have been given the new Bay Class for the real meal deal on how they operate in the Atlantic in the rough stuff.

I think this is the second time you have made reference to the Super Corvettes.

My Father-in-law served as a stoker in corvettes on both coasts.

IIRC Canada's first frigates, the 2000 tonne Rivers, were originally called "twin screw corvettes".

Yeah, our new incoming Class replacing the Kingston Class MCDV's are Super Corvettes. Like Super Hornets, Super Puma's, Upgraded and enhanced platforms usually get a Super thrown into the name, often times because they make the platform Super-ior over the original design. I was one of the hundreds of thousands of supporters of Canada replacing our CF-18 Hornets with the Boeing F/A 18 E & F Super Hornets. They are everything our pilots have used since the 1980's but Super Superior in capabilities. The incoming Super Corvettes will be able to go anywhere in the world, except through Arctic Waters during Ice Periods, are very stealth looking and are being called a Generation 5.0 Ship because of the Stealth Capacity. Above Sea Ships are starting to become as stealthy on the water as Subs are under water.
