You’re right; it’s operational & structural issues that the Brits will have worked out in their planned use of Phalanx.

The Brits are loading that space with 24 Sea Ceptors in addition to their 24 cell mk41.

Spitballing here. What about between the main gun and the mk41, although exhaust from RAM could temporarily interfere with simultaneous launches from mk41. Astern, atop the hanger, although this may require relocating the helicopter radar. This would allow overlap for rounds coming abeam.

I suspect that post is for transfer of dry stores. A guide to the Type 26 Frigate | Navy Lookout Indicates RAS is on Forward funnel.

Has the GoC in recent times every applied a penalty?

I see you’re a “Tropic Thunder” fan.

It must be good dope. In that same article the Minister says, “Our defence budget, for example, next year over this is going to increase 27 per cent. It’s really important that we get real value for Canadians for that huge investment in defence.”. 27% year over year. How is that possible? He...

Curious as to what is happening on the CC295. DND website indicates Dec 2022, 15th aircraft accepted in Spain yet 4 months later only the 5th aircraft is delivered. And IOC hasn’t been declared? Did we buy lemons or more likely are turning them into lemons?

Bombardier had a fire sale 3 years ago, selling off most of their aviation business to Viking,Mitsubishi and Airbus. My understanding is the entire rail business (which was a collection of rail companies from Canada, USA and mostly Europe ) was sold to Alstom. All that remains is the Challenger...

Yes, our second batch prices will come in dramatically different. Much higher. Just look to the AOPS, the second batch will be hulls 7 & 8 for the Coast Guard. They are expected to billed for about $200 million more per hull, despite not including a CMS, milcomms or weapons. The Irving contracts...

Janes is reporting that BAE has been awarded a batch 2 contract for type 26…..4.2 billion Pounds for 5 ships. About 1/5th the cost Irving & Lockmart are hosing Canadians for.

Thank you. based on that I could maybe see FDU Pacific but Halifax & the Bedford basin (Ammunition depot) are out. I understand the additional buildings, skills and security clearances also required for operating and maintaining reactors and steam turbines.

i’m a newby and i’m curious as to what the security/ safety courdon concerns are other than if the (assume American reactor) sub was destroyed in harbour that there is concern about the uranium. As I assume Halifax and Esquimalt are already secure facilities.

Amundsen had a moon pool installed during conversion. Davie built 2 deepsea ships about 5 or 6 years ago with moonpools.
