I like boats, especially Canadian ones. Simple as.

@CDNPolicyHawk A good overall summary of the situation, folks really have a hard time understanding how difficult it is to build a proper workable & safe facility in the Arctic, especially while keeping in line with environmental regulations. It’s an exceptional amount of cost, time & effort.

The core issue with Nanisivik is that it's in the wrong place. The concept was that it would refuel the Arctic and Offshore Patrol Ships -- but the site was selected before the AOPSs were designed. Their 12,000km range does not need to refuel there. ctvnews.ca/vancouver/arti…

Carney will be in Halifax for a surprise announcement. I wasn't tracking, so this is a bit of a surprise. No idea what it could be

This Week in Defence is modernizing, and with that is some new visuals and a brand new format! And on a week where we are absolutely packed with news, rumors, and updates! There's lots to see this time around, and more coming... open.substack.com/pub/truenorths…

@2apark @NoahGairn I don’t think it’s particularly under armed, between a capable main gun, 30mm secondary guns, a RAM launcher, 24 VLS & potentially an unknown number of something like JAGM in those cells on the broadside. 5” & 30mm guns are capable of firing fuzed ammo for use against drones.

@NoahGairn It’s a nice looking ship, but appears underarmed for a drone environment. Perhaps something firing Ahead type rounds or a hybrid turret mounting? Otherwise it’s like building a Pre-Dreadnought when HMS Dreadnought is in the water. Obsolete and vulnerable on commissioning.

@PatriVerus @NoahGairn These designs are leagues more capable than our current frigates, to the point where they aren’t even comparable.

We got a new model for the River-class today! I think quite a few of you will be happy.

@northdud @NoahGairn I think it’s likely, but the launcher itself is throwing me off. Maybe a placeholder, or not. It doesn’t look like any of the existing JAGM navalized launchers, unless it’s a custom below deck mount brought above deck or something like ExLS in an above deck config.

@perfidiousleaf @NoahGairn when i was talking to Noah about this a few weeks ago one of things I theorized was that its a JAGM Quad Launcher.

@northdud @NoahGairn I wouldn’t be surprised at all if it’s some kind of lower footprint supplement to the ships closer in weapon systems, given the adoption of JAGM on US warships in various forms now and into the future. Relatively low cost and potentially reloadable at sea.

@Lucvend @NoahGairn @CDNPolicyHawk I have my doubts, considering that yard has been effectively destroyed and what remains was converted into an Irving drywall plant. That wouldn’t be buying an existing yard but basically building a new one from scratch.

One rumor that will be in tomorrow, that I'll give as a treat because funny enough it isn't the main thing coming tomorrow. Hanwha has apparently been looking to outright purchase a shipyard here in Canada, including engaging with at least one of the major three.

@CDNPolicyHawk @MCCCANM Those same people fail to realize that almost the entire military industrial complex in Canada consists of either American or other foreign subsidies, given that most true “Canadian” firms died off in the starvation times many, many years ago.

@MCCCANM The debate's mostly Canadian, and Canada doesn't have enough people interested in defence to sustain more than one debate at a time. This week the debate's about whether it's okay to give contracts to Canadian subsidiaries of US companies. We'll get back to F-35 v. Gripen soon.

@Varsevan @Fandango831 RAM has only been shown in a Maritime Engineering Journal render in the public sphere so far, with a single launcher precariously placed in a very strange position aft.

Another render of the River class. RIM-116 launchers now shown, with somewhat limited arcs Interestingly depicted with Phalanxes as well. Also stand-in harpoon launchers instead of NSM. Note the aft inflatable decoy launchers as well Has the radar mast changed shape once again?

@AlexRMcColl @dmacpher Wait till you see the render I left out

@Varsevan I wouldn’t put too much stock in this render personally, it’s obviously very low detail & seems slapped together. The mast is entirely different & doesn’t match with what we’ve seen before & there’s a lot of anachronistic/strange equipment fits like the phalanx and RAM mounts

@The_Lookout_N Carney said he didn’t expect the submarine bid to be discussed between leaders as final bids have already been submitted & are being evaluated. It wouldn’t be especially appropriate at this point in time to continue the discussion much considering the stage of the process.

The fashion trend of this decade has not caught on in Canada yet. On a more serious note, I do wonder how the submarine chat between these three went. And good to see a Canadian PM here on the first official visit since 1980.

Today I saw someone call the River-class the "Rivers and Streams-class Destroyer Project" and I gotta say that if that ever catches on I might genuinely cry.

@NoahGairn This is a company I’d like to see supported more by federal & provincial governments. Production time for 515 is unacceptable for such an aircraft & is a serious bottleneck. These aircraft have substantial domestic & foreign demand to more than make up for reasonable investments.

@MattShel1989 @NoahGairn They also have a comically overloaded design that’s suffering from a multitude of apparently weight related issues.
