Which Ship Class is usually the first one to be posted on

[Melbatoast]

Our DDs are now in fact DDGs, post-TRUMP.  They were built as DDHs.  DDG-283 HMCS ALGONQUIN is what the ball caps on the one out here say.

Joe,

The first two digits of your rifle's serial number indicate it's year of manufacture.

IE 90AA05654 was manufactured in 1990.

The AA indicates that it's a C-7.  AB would indicate a C-8.

Out here on the east coast the Iro and Ath are DDH 280 and DDH 280 respectively.

I doubt they both have 280 as hull number !!

I figure it's just a typing error on your end ex-dragoon, but ATH is 282

T'ank you...it was

Does that mean my first C1 was really, really old?    6L1776... ;D

Cheers,

p.s.  Although the C6 is a design that dates back to 1958, didn't ours come into service in the early 90's?

We got the C6 in the late 1970's.

Wasn't that just with the Leopard though?

I did my QL3 in Chilliwack with the old Browning C5 GPMG .....that was in 1993

Yes???

The Infantry School was running Crses on it and fixed line firing by the mid-80's.

The C5 stayed in service until the mid-90s.
