The Iroquois predecessor's, the steamers, had two 75 ton AC units so 50 degrees Celsius would still have you snuggle up to your blanket, I sailed on HMCS Restigouche and when we tied up in Manilla in the height of Summer below decks was always just sublime, open a door to the outside and you get hit with a brick of heat, crew comfort is a must on any Warship temperature wise.

Now the other frigates went on extended refits so rhe old Restigouche classes are done and the Canadian government is still trying to figure out how and when they are going to start the new ships and they are fiddling around,Gerry my husband said he will be dead before the new ship's will be going to see

The covers are wrong for the Middle East, especially on the sea. The best head gear for that part of the world would be the kaffiyah, which drapes cotton down to the shoulders and goes around the back for shade. It can also cover the face for relected sun protection. Hats with headbands built-in, like these boonies or ball caps, keep heat in the head.

ok, so a canadian air force chopper is in a canadian naval ship? why doesn’t the canadian navy have its own naval aviation like other navies?

[@Outlaw_j84]

Lol what do u except bud

[@MrAwesomal]

A helicopter is an aircraft so the air force who specialize in maintaining and flying aircraft would be the logical choice for that role. Why even have an air force if the army, navy, marines have their own?. The US military is a good example of a million tools that can only do one thing each vs the one tool that can do everything those million tools can do. my dad was giving rations to American tank men stranded on the side of the road for 3 days in Afghanistan.They had a broken track and had to wait for mechanic to come and fix it, meanwhile them explaining that my dad fixed the track and sent them on their way why doesn't the US army teach its tank operators how to do simple repairs? the Taliban were probably waiting to kill the tank crew, the repair crew, and their infantry escort. so in answering why doesn't the Royal Canadian Navy have its own aviation detachment is like asking why the air force doesn't have its own ships, its simple its not their job to worry about ships the air force focus on aircraft the navy focuses on ships and subs the army focuses on soldiers and vehicles.

[@BUCKMAW]

@@MrAwesomal My Grandmother could land a plane on a 10,000-foot runway. You will never see an AF pilot hanging on his port wing right before lining up with the ship. Your logic is not sound as the AF and the Navy have two entirely different missions that are not compatible.

[@MrAwesomal]

@@BUCKMAW the royal canadian navy has done it for the past 70 years the pilots on ships all detachment of the air force they are trained for ship born operations again lets leave flying aircraft to the branch where their only purpose is to operate aircraft on land or at sea my question of why have an air force is all branches have their own so bybthat logic a marine helicopter in the same theater cant support army operations because its "two entirely different missions" when the mission is operate aircraft to achieve objectives i dont see where air navy and army are so different in mission scope people are smart enough to learn different things most royal canadian airforce pilots are trained on multuple aircraft the thought process is if it flies its airforce thats like a mechanic saying he cant fix a ford because he only works on GM its called being interchangeable
