Re-invigorate NAD on the 'Dark Side' of the harbour, rebuild the old periscope shop that was over there, and setup some new buildings. Presto - sub base. And it's in Dartmouth where subs are allowed to park already anyhow.

With the advent of drones, and the current lack of effective means within some military organizations to stop UAS beyond geo-fencing, I'd suggest that the 'it won't happen here' is a bit optimistic.

Or, a skilled welder to join steel plates vs a few people banging on rivets with hammers and such.

The perfect is the enemy of the good. Let me take a 'layman' or 'dumb sailor' look at things.... The perfect was the Zumwalt - but they're too damn expensive. The realization that the Zumwalt would be too expensive probably drove some of the desire to get the 'cheap' LCS ships. Looking at...

Advance to the River or other defensible terrain using heavy forces. Dig in and hold with lighter forces allowing the (now more experienced) heavier forces to be sent elsewhere. RUS responds to the incursion and hits the dug-in troops in defensible terrain who hold the line as best they can...

How far did Prigozhin get?

Rumbles seem to have some substantiation - ish. Word of Strykers and now Bradleys on the move, in excess of 10 km of penetration. Russian troops surrendering, SU-25's doing CAS, and 2x KA-52's being shot down. Thinking about that, the KA-52's were mentioned previously as being part of the...

Rumbles of Ukraine doing things in Kursk area - behind Russian lines by 7-ish KM. Multiple Strykers seen in UAV video. Air strikes...interesting...

As was said long ago...it's a jobs program with ships being a somewhat useful byproduct.

Foreshadowing....?

Ah, what's old is new again.... Observe my less than exactly perfect rendition in 1/96 scale on my 3D printed Liberty Ship. I'll note, I'm not that good at rigging...so...you get what you get. From a distance it looks the part. Having been a part of missile loading evolutions alongside, I...

There truly is nothing new under the sun. https://www.usmilitariaforum.com/forums/index.php?/topic/386326-m1917-machine-gun-cart/

A well deserved horn tooting....and no surprise of issues with an ISI product.

Shapeways is shut(ing) down. Non payment to many of their designers. Bad news there.

I have reached out to the designer to see what they are willing to 'adjust' for me. We'll see what happens.

They have a 25mm chain gun. That's it. They are a constabulary role vessel, not a warship.

A question - how close does this look to the 'current' RCN plan: https://www.cgtrader.com/3d-print-models/hobby-diy/other/type-26-city-class-frigate-3d-print-model I'm tempted...

Rumours of there being an F-16 strike or something today - perhaps they are now in service?
