Russia must be "snickering" to themselves thinking that whatever Canada says or "considers" will have any impact at all by Putin WRT Ukraine. However NATO may have to decide soon to "sink or swim" and the US will have to decide what action or response will be enough to make Russia back off as...

Canada cannot even remotely attend to our own national disasters (BC Floods) let alone more troops for Ukraine. Seriously, another "ship" for the Black Sea and more aging CF 18 Hornets for Romania? Let's face facts. Our military is "broken" and "under-funded by the Liberal government (by...

Hello Nilgiri. If we could get to the high Arctic with a Canadian SSN and located Russian or Chinese boats playing around in our own "backyard" (they more than likely have already been there by now but the Canadian government would never admit it), that would be a very tense situation indeed and...

Wouldn't it be nice if Canada had the "g'noids" to join the AUKUS program to jump start our sub replacement program. Call it the AUCANUKUS agreement? But alas.....I joketh too much!:LOL:

"I recently seen some concept designs for the replacement" Which concept designs do you "speculated" on Ted? The Turkish MILGEM design, the French FTI design or perhaps the Serco Canada designed patrol frigate. I know what my choice would be, and not any of these.;)

Sounds great to me Nilgiri. However the CSC design phase comes out at the end, it will be a great ship for the RCN. Enough said.:)

Are you "current" CAF Ted or perhaps work for LM or the government with that kind security clearance? As the DEFSEC 2021 Forum (5-7 Oct 2021) at the Halifax Convention Centre was for world Defence Industry companies (including Lockheed Martin) Canadian Government cleared and regular CAF members...

Just got all the information I needed to "know" Ted from a very good friend of mine I "know" who is still "current". Yes, the sailor accommodations are excellent and will make the crews of other allied ships very envious. The secrecy that goes on though is very puzzling. I have promised my...

On the evidence, the forum has nothing else to go on but "renderings" as you say. These CGI graphics of LMS CSC frigate design, are just that and nothing else. For all we know the MK 41 VLS canisters could be back to 32 and not 24. Nobody really knows, and by the way Ted, you did not indicate...

I've seen that CGI graphic before but still can't explain the two small cylinder objects Port/Stb'd just past amidships. As I said before, they certainly aren't Life Rafts and nothing EW like. As I said before IMO they "could" be a DEW laser system (Dragon Fly). I don't suppose you can help out...

The information that most forum members have is that there would be 32 MK VLS 41 cells forward. If you have more accurate information please feel free to divulge that with all members. Perhaps the other 8 VLS cells will be fitted amidships where the Satcom antennas were for better weight...

It would be best then if you'd just leave everyone in the dark, if you can't (or won't) substantiate what you say, then it would be best to leave it alone.:((n)

The Maritime Engineering Journal (MEJ) has issued its latest Fall Issue # 98 (A Land Based Test Capability for the Canadian Surface Combatant Project by Stephen Harrison, Flavio Stasi and LCdr Yohan Desjardins) with a Featured Article on the new Land Based Test Capability (LBTC) for the Canadian...

Ted, are you willing to share those CSC Frigate graphics , all combat systems with locations with the rest of the forum members? That would be nice to have or see. :unsure:

"Yes they went with 24 canisters vice 32". Do you have a quote or substantiation for that Ted?:confused:

You are probably right Anmdt, but whatever is there, it is certainly not any kind of life raft or EW " gear ". The DEW laser (if Canada does acquire the Dragon Fly) could probably go where the Satcom antennas were midships on either side of the CAAM launchers.;)

Lockheed Martin Canada has just generated (20 Sept 2021) another CG Graphics of the CSC Frigate that seem to have some changes to them For example, the radar mast seems to be much higher, along with the Satcom antennas being moved from midships either side of the CAAM missiles to just abaft the...

"given the recent Australian decision Canada may just choose the same path". Can't see that any time soon DANTE given the political climate now with a Liberal minority government not willing to go down the nuclear path. Even if we decided to approach the US again on nuclear technology, we could...
