New Canadian Shipbuilding Strategy

i was thinking it would be a benefit although Sydney is not exactly a metropolis

No Sydney is slowly melting away but never underestimate Cape Breton Home sickness especially if a Caper can get great work for the last years before retirement.

Topshee said he needs a minimum of 20 surface combatants. I’m sure the politicians heard: “We only need 20 surface combatants “.

was that an official announcement or just the local MP trying to impress his constituents. I read it as suggesting that Sydney was in the running not that it was a done deal

I had the same thoughts. To me it doesn’t make sense especially in light of Newdock in St. John’s improvements.

maybe not done, done but i didnt see mention of anything else

Just a minor point, the number of VLS cells matter les than the capability of the sensors to detect and target what you want to engage.

What are the Mogami class giving up to have more launchers, less expense, and less crew?

But aren't the sensors on board F35s and satellites?

The missiles of the Nuclear triad aren't collocated with their sensors. And isn't the CEC predicated on off-board sensors?

What presumes you're operating in a permissive environment against dudes in manjams. A peer enemy could deny or degrade your connections to those other sensors.

When you have the required sensors integrated into the ship, the only way for the enemy to deny or degrade you sensors is through direct contact.

Are we sure that those systems are just designed for dealing with the Maduros of the world? I thought that much of the current effort was to develop Long Range Precision Fires based on remote targeting?

How useful are the Arleigh Burke's sensors in targeting their Tomahawks? Or the Ohio SSGNs? Isn't that part of the reason the US Army has been interested in Bombardier's Global 6500s?

They are all parts of a system, but just like bombers changed war in WWII. They added to the other systems rather than replace them. Data links, and remote targeting add to capabilities, they don't replace capabilities.

Without going into details, in my last job people spent a lot of time talking about operating in Denied, Degraded, Intermittent, and Limited (DDIL) environments. They didn't do that for no reason.

Likely helped along by the hot and humid conditions in the US south.

Healthy 18-year-old welder nearly died of anthrax—the 9th such puzzling case

Welder's Anthrax" was first coined in 2022, when seven cases had been identified.
