    Baltimore Bridge Collapse

    Question - what impact will this have on the US strategically? I mean, it sure looks like an accident...but a lot of things look like accidents, and a lot of Hillary C's friends have also 'committed suicide' so....who knows?

    Range Card Template PDF + ADREP CASEVAC and Contact Report 2024-03-26

    A handy range card template I was sent that I thought I'd share.

    The War in Ukraine

    Which is why I'm thinking that in the near term, the Chinese may simply push north and west instead of out to Taiwan. The N/W route becomes much simpler once the Russian Bear is not just distracted, but also de-clawed by NATO.

    The War in Ukraine

    In the end, I don't think the war in Ukraine really matters much. The next big one will be in the Pacific. That said, demolishing the Russian reserve stocks of war material while testing western war technologies in a space that does not result in NATO deaths is...well...not a bad place to be...

    AOR Replacement & the Joint Support Ship (Merged Threads)

    A NATO compatible fleet oiler with military 'experience' and some equipment - equipped with counter UAS gear? Sounds like something that any idiot would love to rent/lease. Which is probably exactly why the RCN will attempt to divest itself.

    AOR Replacement & the Joint Support Ship (Merged Threads)

    Call it 'value added' - we'd never get that out of the other east coast shipyard/organization. They're protecting a company asset - makes good sense, particularly with the way we always seem to forward deploy our tanker(s).

    The Defence Budget [superthread]

    The problem isn't just money. It's old hardware, old infrastructure, not enough people, and overworking the people you have left. How do you fix it? How do you get new hardware without the people to push the procurement? How do you get new infrastructure without the money? How do you get...

    Canadian Surface Combatant RFQ

    It's hard to not leave things parked when you only have crews for half the ships...and firing more people won't help. To build warships is something that takes a nation's treasure. To build effective crews is something that takes a nation's best that want to serve. Right now, we live in a...

    Maritime Coastal Defence Vessels (MCDVs)

    Technically incorrect....we have 4 subs....and we could probably put 3 of them to sea (depending on current maintenance status) but would probably only get one of them back (again, depending on current maintenance status.)

    The War in Ukraine

    I like that concept - how about take that a step further and add a NATO no-Fly Zone and let the zoomies establish a level of airspace control as well?
