Some visual differences from the image of the Berlin displayed from the Navy Technology site to the ones above are : only one large crane, an addition of 2 landing craft (not sure of the size), a different RAS rigs configuration, and other minor things like life boats etc. I'm sure there's been...

I know CASR is not everyone's favourite site but some capacity/capability comparisons can be found at the bottom of the page. http://casrca.nationprotect.net/bg-navy-jss-joint-support-ship-aor.htm

Halifax Shipping News posts the Berlin Class AOR has been chosen as the new Joint Support Ship. However there are no links to the government announcement nor could I find any news on any Government of Canada Website http://blog.halifaxshippingnews.ca/ Link to Naval Technology.com...

As a civilian of this country I will endeavor to "stay in my lane" regarding the ships themselves. However I do have a vested interest in how and where our government spends the dollars I hand over. I'll make this clear to begin with; I am a supporter of our military and want nothing but the...

http://www.thinkdefence.co.uk/2010/02/fdr-maritime-at-sea-replenishment/ This site quotes 5 Aegir 18 for 320 million pounds which converts roughly to 500 million Canadian for just the vessels. I haven't found any other sites that mention price.

Just some observations from the CBC and Shipfax photos; There's blue paint rubs on the hull near the puncture and the tug docked at Sydney is coloured the same blue..

Sorry for reviving an old thread but this seems the most relevant place to post. Links to Halifax Shipping news re: recent photos of HMCS Halifax and her visible upgrades http://blog.halifaxshippingnews.ca/2012/06/halifax-class-mid-life-refit-update.html...

Is this the Sargent Joe Penman who is a reservist in Wpg? If so I'm not surprised Joe would not hesitate to act in a situation like this. I've had Joe work for me in his civilian job. His excellent work ethic, leadership, and professionalism  are, I'm sure, a result of his time with the CF...

Slava class?

Link to photo of Dundas harbour. I found this on Google earth. http://www.google.com/images?q=Dundas%20Harbour,Canada

Not sure if this is the spot for it and did not find it in a search http://www.navalhistory.dk/English/NavyNews/2006/0622_PatrolShips.htm

Thanks Gents, I thought it had some interesting points with its cargo capabilities and rear ramp but there's obviously much more to the Otter than I though. Again thanks for the inside perspective.

Don't mean to get in between two fine gentlemen and their disagreement but I was just looking for an opinion on the Utilicraft and its potential use in the CF.

G'day to all, While browsing around I found the Utilicraft site. I would like to hear your opinions on whether this aircraft has any potential for the replacement of the Twin otter. http://www.utilicraft.com/index2.htm It might not be flying yet but after reading all your discussions here it...
