Hi Nilgiri!. Funny you should mention "Barrett's Privateers" as I am a "not so great singer & musician and have sung that song many times at various Country Jams & Jamborees around the Province and always get a kick out of the audiences response. Cheers mate!;)

You would have thought that if this GCS ship was an ASW frigate, that space would have been included for a Torpedo mag for the MK 54 in it's initial design? The SPY 7 V1 radar by the way is not nearly as heavy as the Aussie CEAFAR or the SPY 6 V1 although the mast being extended on the CSC...

I'm sure this will all become clearer once the design phase is finished. IMOO, the CSC Frigate would be much better off with the 32 VLS canisters whether they were "filled" or not.😁

Yes, I see that graphic on the navy.forces.gc.ca CSC Fact Sheet but only as an "Alternate" fact sheet and as I said this particular graphic is not on any Lockheed Martin website that I can find. The only Fact Sheet that I know of is the LM one that still has 32 MK 41 VLS Cells and another change...

Hello Ted. I have not seen this graphic on the Government Of Canada-DND website nor on the LM Webpage as yet. Can you verify this new graphic?:unsure:

Hello Nilgiri! Could not agree more with your comments. To say that Russia's dis-information warfare tactics WRT Ukraine is spilling over to it's designs on Canada's Arctic waters is obvious to anyone who has at least half a brain (except for our political leaders). Cheers!!

OK Ted. You're right......as always. Conversation over!

I had not posted that info on CNR before. I happen to be a member of CNR much longer than I have been on DefenceHub and have written several articles for their magazine in the past. What and when I post on CNR for the forum members to comment on is neither here nor there and should not be...

Seen that rendering from Lockheed Martin before so nothing new there.

May you all have a very Merry Christmas and a safe and joyous 2022!!

I guess some see the the glass as half-empty, while others see it as half-full. ....R.O.F.L.

All the "issues" you talk about Ted, I have thought about before, but there are no problems that can't be solved if we have the vision to solve them. I take it then you would have no problems with the "concept" of building ABs in Canada though to give Canada a true AAW/AsuW capability and...

This is something that may very well be in the works and "part" of the solution for our north however is not the "final" answer. SSNs are still the only way to find out who else is freely roaming our Canadian Arctic and give others "pause".:rolleyes:

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:
