Considering that y'all can't even drydock your only carrier, throwing shade at Ukraine for accepting free ships is kinda sketch dude.

Belesarius Posted November 5, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2018 Canada getting a 6th Arctic Patrol ship. https://www.janes.com/article/84257/canada-buys-sixth-arctic-patrol-ship This is more about keeping the shipyard active for 18 months rather than building navy capability. This will keep Irving busy until the Type 26 production starts, and keeps the skilled workforce busy and together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's any consolation, the charges relate to sale and distribution, and not use while on duty. Never get high on your own supply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never get high on your own supply. Unfortunately, most dealers I know/have met use whatever they sell. Mind you, I've only ever really dealt with weed dealers and been around when 'shrooms and E were purchased. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xlucine Posted November 7, 2018 Report Share Posted November 7, 2018 https://www.janes.com/article/84297/us-navy-considering-re-introduction-of-sub-harpoon Quote US Navy considering re-introduction of Sub-Harpoon The US Navy (USN) is looking at the re-introduction of the submarine-launched Boeing UGM-84D Sub-Harpoon anti-ship missile after a successful live fire demonstration at the ‘Rim of the Pacific’ (‘RIMPAC’) 2018 exercise. Harpoon is really getting old, it's looking like a missile version of the B-52 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belesarius Posted November 8, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2018 This is from a new-ish FB group I found, so not sure of how accurate it is, but photos are convincing. Looking for more information. Edit: https://www.aftenposten.no/norge/i/yv2kBa/Tankskip-og-fregatt-kolliderte-ved-Oygarden--syv-lettere-skadet?fbclid=IwAR1cp-ug6OS9EZZZvppWApP34YRQwbqL6htw5eMFSxAV3Ahzw45GXAR7F2Q Google Translate of above photo caption: The tanker "Sola" TS and the frigate "Helge Ingstad" collided the night to Thursday at the Stureterminal Hall in Øygarden municipality in Hordaland. The frigate takes in a lot of water and there is a risk that it may sink. "Norweigan Nansen-class frigate HNoMS Helge Ingstad collided with the tanker Sola this morning and subsequently ran aground in order to prevent her from sinking."

Alzoc Posted November 8, 2018 Report Share Posted November 8, 2018 CdG CVN officially back into active service after it's mid-life upgrade and refit. Mostly obsolescence on the CMS, new radar and miscellaneous stuff like new landing lights or removing stuff used for the Super Etendards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Collimatrix Posted November 11, 2018 Report Share Posted November 11, 2018 So, what I learned in 2018 is that everyone's navy is incompetent. Norway and US keep crashing into things. China's new carrier doesn't work. Russia's old carrier doesn't work, and the one drydock that can repair it is at the bottom of the ocean. The UK Navy site that stores Trident warheads can't keep electricians safe. Belesarius 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The UK Navy site that stores Trident warheads can't keep electricians safe. This is honestly incompetent beyond belief. The warship had several warnings well in advance and said that "it was under control". This is a disaster for sjøforsvaret. Russia's northern fleet might as well be scuttled and then invest in some old cargo ships with reinforced bows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord_James Posted November 13, 2018 Report Share Posted November 13, 2018 If they could raise the 40,000 ton Hyūga in 1946 (for scraping), they can raise that 5000 ton frigate in 2018... right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
