Canadian Surface Combatant RFQ
- Thread starter jmt18325
- Start date
There used to be a couple floating dry docks in Halifax, this was 1995 or so. I was 15 and I didn't know who owned them but I seen them from the Bridge and it was explained to me what they were and how they worked. I'm pretty sure one of them was quite large for the Iroquois class. Are they still there and if so are they too small for the CSC?
The last one was cut in two and towed to Tampa Bay a number of years ago. Bit of a shock getting off a Cruise ship and seeing it in the Harbor down there.
Hmmm. Always the Swim-ex conundrum. Do I take my chances with the shark, or the aim of LSBN Bloggins?

As an aside, I saw that and thought "why didn't we just go with that when the RCN did its 'sailor' name change?"
You could start a whole new thread on that, but bolted horses/closing barn doors comes to mind.
Really though, who in the RCN brain trust thought that Sailor 1st class et al sounded better than Leading Marine Engineering Mechanic? Oh, and look!!! It's gender neutral.

Strange rendering of the CSC along with info about DeLOG. Type 45 for all.

BAE and Lockheed Martin may have submitted the wrong bid for the CSC program – Canadian Naval Review
By Mikael Perron, 1 April 2022 I was reading a status report of the Daring-class destroyer and looking at the pictures, and I realised how well the Canadian Surface Combatant (CSC) mast would fit where the main mast featuring the SAMPSON radar is located on these ships.

Further CSC graphics – Canadian Naval Review
By David Dunlop, 18 January 2022 The Lockheed Martin Canada web page is showing a top-view of the CSC design (seen above). Recent computer graphics of the CSC frigate on the LM website seem to bear out the recent changes to the CSC design.

I love how people get a pencil out and think that they can just swap a few things and voila! New ship type. The acoustic signature management for the Type 26 goes far beyond just putting diesels in acoustic enclosures. There is the hull noise, the fact plumbing is designed to keep laminar flow throughout, how drains, intakes and discharges work/are located.Strange rendering of the CSC along with info about DeLOG. Type 45 for all.

If we wanted a noisy ship then we should have taken the Alion bid...

Especially after the handful the RN has had sorting out the “boutique“ hybrid propulsion system…

Has any space be allocated yet to warehousing of parts and food, or office space for Log ?
Just wondering about the layout.

The ship spaces are allocated for the most part. There wasn't enough room for Log or stores on the ship proper so they are going to tow a Logistics Barge behind the ship, the project has taken to calling it a "Log Boom".

It seems the best idea he has that the 45 hull size allows for more growth than the 26 and allows for more weapons. It does seem that the 26 hull is not quite big enough for what everyone wants it to do. But your right that a "redesign" even using the same hull form is really an entirely new ship.

The 26 is within feet of AOL and beam of the 45 and two feet greater draft. What ‘growth’ does the 26 need?
