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

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.

I suppose it makes good sense as Cape Breton is at the main entry point to the Gulf but I wonder, are you better to start where the ice is i.e. the river itself or steam towards the start of the ice. I am totally not familiar with ice anywhere but in whiskey, skating rinks and Georgian BayFrom the press release. Strongly suggests a done deal

North Sydney is where the Ferries that supply Newfoundland are based and land for contact with the mainland.
All the Ferries are Ice Strengthened and Coast Guard Breakers have been known to come up from Halifax or Newf to help if need be. I think the Synergy of having an Ice breaker under refit with the future Officers at the Coast Guard academy just around the block will provide some on the job experience..

So long as everybody remembers that the Coast Guard Academy is just another specialized community college, not an indoctrination operation, like Venture or CFRLS St-Jean. It only addresses itself to the officers of the Coast Guard, and only trains them to become marine officers to civilian standards. In fact it provides them with the training to obtain their civilian licenses. There is no leadership training and very little in terms of Coast Guard specific administration or operations training.
In fact the officers who would get the most "Coast Guard" training are the one choosing the Communications and Traffic Control branch (it's closed now for the foreseeable future - no need for personnel at this time), and yet they are the ones with the lowest amount of actual marine training.
