We do not have a thread of RCN weapons systems that is recent, so thought I would start a new one.
I saw today the attached images in a twitter thread from HMCS Winnipeg. There is a video of Hammerhead UTV taking a pounding from 3 guns at close range (Bofors, Phalanx and the new NWRS).
So it sounds like Winnipeg is fitted with either 2 or 4 NRWS which I gather can be operated remotely from the OPs room or at the mount itself. The barrel looks like it had some refurb work done as well.
Also, it sounds like the installation points are on bridge wings and quarterdeck, Port and Starboard.
I’ve tried to post the twitter link, but this web server blocks creation of the page with the link. Maybe some else can try?
Edit: I think this will work- https://twitter.com/HMCSWinnipeg/status/1295048978073939968?s=20
