So, it's the F-35 then?? https://www.cnn.com/2022/03/28/americas/canada-f35-jets-lockheed-martin-intl-hnk/index.html

I'm wondering if the FREMM might be one??

Whatever we purchase now could possibly be augmented with some advanced drones at some point, seems to be at least part of what the future holds.

Just wanted to mention that the Kongsberg anti-ship missile is compatible with the MK41 VLS, it can and has been fired from a ship. So it is an option, would clear up deck space, then the problem is that the 32 cells fill up quickly so I expect it will stay in the separate launchers. The wild...

Going by memory here, but I do seem to remember that in the design there is the ability to add lasers later on. I do believe this came up once before, quite some time ago. https://www.navalreview.ca/2020/10/dew-system-for-canadas-csc-frigates/

That would be 32 ESSM's in 8 vls cells. Oops, that was meant for Underway.

Or even if the helicopter is otherwise busy. I've often thought this would be a good backup to have, even just a couple would be good, I would think.

We are ordering 100 SM-2 missiles and 100 cannisters for those 100 missiles. I believe the MK13 is a cannister that goes inside the VLS cell, "and one hundred (100) MK 13 Vertical Launch Systems" (VLS). Notice different cannisters for different missiles here...

The Sea Ceptor has it's own launchers towards the back of the ship.

They are showing both the Tomahawk and the Kongsberg which is the Joint Strike Missile, which is fine, one ship-to-ship, the other longer range, good capabilities. They are also showing the SM2, which is also fine, but if they do add a booster to the ESSM it would make the cells go further, more...

My understanding was that the infrastructure was part of it and for the F-35 it's the most expensive of the 3. I could be wrong. I seem to remember that with the F-35 the runways needed some substantial lengthening.

Yes, this was my understanding, that they rejected transferring the IP to Irving, but would have done the deal in the way they bid the project and it was for the complete package, systems included.

I would be fine if they reconsidered the FREMM offer just based on cost, given the current situation and the fact that we still get a very good ship and I thought we recently established that the quote was for a complete ship.

I agree with you, it's like going after the guns was a way of getting more idealists back on board with the party, or firming their support of the party, whichever, so it was political. In the same way the idealists likely would not like the purchase of the F-35, so the Liberals won't risk it. I...

Very sexy.

Not sure if I'm the only one who wishes we could have taken that FREMM deal but.....

I am of course kidding but if Japan did this, I'd be thinking let's partner up with them, buy some SH for the present. Once again, I am kidding, but this would be the type of aircraft that I think would do a great job covering all of our real estate...

This is what I thought. Thanks.
