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...

Hi Nigiri. I'll have to admit, I didn't realize a Canadian shipbuilding company was even into building naval vessels here. Probably a subsiduary of a British company (Babcock), correct? In any event they are probably looking to sell these "frigates" to over seas nations. As far as I know the...

Itend to agree with you Nilgiri however my preference would be Option 2 and Option 1 second.

Here is an interesting article assessing the requirements and options for Canada's "future" submarine force written for the MacDonald Institute by Jeffery Collins. There is a very good Forward written by retired Vice-Admiral Mark Norman. This should create some interesting discussions with forum...

This is an opinion piece by the author for Forum member discussion only and not to be disseminated to any other media. Since the recent Federal Election, it is useful to look back at the two major political parties to review their defence procurement policies. The Conservative Party platform...

We should know very soon what Ottawa's decision will be on the use of Huawei Technologies Co Ltd’s 5G technology in Canada. It is widely suspected that Ottawa will not allow Huawei technologies to be part of any Canadian 5G network in the future...

According to our “newly minted” Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Canada seems to be immediately down-playing the importance of the “Three-Eyes” AUKUS nuclear technology transfer deal between the United States, Australia and United Kingdom as merely a way for the US to sell nuclear submarines to...

Sorry Ted, I cannot read the article as I do not subscribe to The Globe & Mail:unsure:

which member/members of the five eyes that are "upset" are you talking about since the AUSCANZUKUS five eyes alliance consists of Australia, Canada, New Zealand, United Kingdom and the United States and how do you know that Canada was not consulted before this announcement? Can you quote your...

We shall see.

Canada was not even part of the discussions when the AUKUS deal was struck. Nor should we have been. This was not a Canadian decision but an Australian decision for their own security in partnership with the US & UK. Let's just wait and see what discussions may or may not be made between Canada...

Your opinion Ted, and you are entitled to it, but....you could be wrong this time;).
