Hmmm the type 23's all got/getting a mid life upgrade pretty much except 1 (monmouth - decommisioned, awaiting disposal). They are all expected to get one more life-extension refit. So I don't think type 23 (speculation) is it then. Minehunter, corvette, OPV all seem possible candidates. Of...

One of few places mongols tried but couldnt defeat. Based. Some much larger guys got taken over entirely, not naming any names :P

Interesting thread to read : @VCheng @AlphaMike

https://www.wionews.com/india-news/india-sends-in-100-tonne-fertiliser-to-sri-lanka-amid-colombos-row-with-china-over-contamination-427106 India has sent 100 tonnes of Nano Nitrogen fertiliser to Sri Lanka in the backdrop of latter barring the use of contaminated Chinese fertilisers. Sri Lanka...

How are things going in govt formation stuff @what et al? It seems to have dropped from news completely here.

I'm glad you brought this up...(as I was meaning to bring this up earlier somewhere but forgot to)... Yes basic gonads go a long way....consider what folks I know have told me...Ret'd submariner bud: Canadian government does not want to have SSNs prowling around the Arctic, especially Canadian...

Yeah but those supplies are much smaller mass-fraction relative to fuel supplies in SSK....latter is what I think andmt was intimating (i.e supplies as whole to final endurance). Doing away with such fuel buffer is big thing in SSN.

I'm wondering if potentially that answers the 3 + 2. In that UK refurbishes 3 type 23's....and 2 corvettes etc of new design built in BD.... Shipyard improvement is done through this phase... Then 3 more frigates, say Type 31 are done in BD at later date. That way you get the 6 frigate...

What can one say, he "held on" to freedom to the last second possible lol

Some footage of the exercise: Where did all the egyptian and allied arab members go lately? wakey wakey @Philip the Arab @Gamal @ANGMAR et al.

yeah you actually passed a budget in a long while: When you dont have budget that passes, do you do something like US does with continuing resolutions?...to keep things funded? Seeing Bibi in that footage, I was wondering how is the bibi corruption case going right now out of interest? Will...

The Aussie ex-PM apparently is suggesting buying 1-2 688's to use as learning aids while they wait for their own subs to be produced. Perhaps one underway and one as a docked school boat. @Anmdt @AlphaMike @Paro et al...

There is also the "small" matter of what relevance a specific year has relative to say 5 year average. Myanmar launched something super DWT stronk looks like in 2019...its putting japan, korea, italy, france and many more to shame... These are reports "direct from US military and defence...

As I have intimated many times....if carriers are so easily countered like this (by literal pennies on the dollar), why build them yourself? If US bonds are crap (cuz USD and US economy are soon to be wastelands)... why buy them by the truck, train, plane and ship loads each day?...given by...

On the critical thinking scale where: 1 (volumetric-inclined bozo spammer)...2....3....4....5....6....7....8....9....10 (critical thinker/analyser) I generally sniff out numbers 1 - 4 (I classify as generic dullards/bottom feeders) fairly easily and tend to go glassy eyed over their predictable...

I agree. Let us wait for the details of what these 5 warships are and involve. There is mention of shipyard improvement so the 3 + 2 might actually make more sense than 2 + 3...it depends on what is involved in the details.
