    No they declared themselves the "national icebreaker center" in Canada despite other yards building icebreakers.

    Cost of housing in Canada

    I'm on a few of these facebook pages for people moving from Ontario to Nova Scotia. There is a lot of people moving here and buying everything they can get their hands on.

    AOR Replacement & the Joint Support Ship (Merged Threads)

    We don't have the personnel to crew the JSS without taking them from other priorities.

    Why do you think all those years we had Asterix we didn't send it for HADR? Wasn't in the lease and we would have paid through the nose for it.

    If I had a say I would crew both JSS with civilians under the government and a small contingent of RCN.

    I can very well see Asterix being sent on its way when JSS1 becomes operational. The lease for Asterix is costing the RCN a lot of money and we don't exactly have a lot of money right now.

    This is something Federal Fleet decided to do themselves and not asked by the RCN to do. More than likely a way to keep Asterix in the news.

    Yes the ice is too heavy right now and she needs to get to the WC pronto for other deployments and training of crew.

    Perhaps that was the issue. I do know that the video taken that was in the media was before they took measures to mitigate the water and this has been an ongoing issue since HDW came out. I also know they tried some metal covers that helped a bit. I was told now that they have inflatable bags...

    Both designs seem to have the anchor pocket doors at the same position in relation to the waterline.
