New Canadian Shipbuilding Strategy

[ArmyRick]

Navy Guys,

I don't know much about this. Is this something to worry about?

It appears Federal Fleet is pulling out all the stops to get retained LOL

Navy Guys,

I've never put much faith in what comes out of Esprit de Corps. He mixes up a few stories in there to make it come out supporting his personal opinion. However it is a view (the conclusion) that is shared by some, even in the Navy.

He does make a big mistake on flags: Federal Services did not design it's own flag to fly (that would be illegal in any event) that would mimic the RCN's White Ensign. That Blue Ensign it flies has existed for a long time: it is the ensign of the CFAV's (i.e. the Canadian merchant service that operates the support vessels of the RCN, such as tugs, research vessels (when we had them), ferries (again, when we had them), and the Nanoose range vessels. Asterix is flying it by permission of the Navy.

Having said all of the above am I immensely jealous, in the best way possible, of those who are getting posted to these ships right now

I second that emotion!
