New Canadian Shipbuilding Strategy

[Halifax Tar]

I no longer have a need to know about the Active/Passive Acoustic Towed Array that's replacing my old beloved SQR-19, but I'm glad to hear that new and better are coming. I can only imagine the leap in capability. I just hope that the MARS world (NWO) have learned the patience to do proper ASW. An ASW ex that is just 2 hours long is not enough.... I recall the old days of yore when we'd go Tail Wet 5-6 hours out of harbour, and only reel in during the RAS Window and the return to port.

(Eventually we trialed doing RASs with the tail out too.)

On FRE in 2019 during WUPs, we did a RAS with our tail out...

The ST did a MOB, so we did an emergency breakaway, during our maneuvering we drove over our own tail and chopped it off.

Biggest, by dollar value, single 152 I have ever done.
