[@_lime.]

For those who are commenting about the current state of the fleet, rest assured that it's changing, though it will take another 10 years do to how long ships take to build. I work for the team responsible for designing the vessels for the Coast Guard, and we have a sister team at DND. After decades of neglect in both fleets, the government finally realized that ships aren't free and that you kinda need them if you want your waterways to be maintained and safe. For the CCG we have about 8 classes of vessel either in concept or being built right now, with probably 20-30 ships planned to be built. In terms of the Navy, from what I know, they have 6 of the 8 Harry DeWolf class offshore patrol vessels on the way (we get the other 2) with 1 already done, and the planned 15 (and possibly 5 modified version for large area air defense, and 2 Coast Guard ships) Canadian Surface Combatant ships, which are Type 26 frigates in essence. It would be nice to get some destroyers, though to be fair, these frigates are not to far off the mark, they are actually bigger than any previous destroyers in the fleet and other than their lack of ballistic offensive armament (not necessary these days with missiles) are functionally destroyers. It's worth mentioning that while I'm involved in the design of some vessels, I do not have any sway over what role the ships are assigned, what projects get created, or what funding is allocated. They simply tell us "Make a ship that can do these things and for this price" and we have to figure out the rest.

[@_lime.]

@@tylerdalton3267 They came to my university looking for engineering students for Co-op. I guess my interview went well. DND has a lot of similar jobs you can apply for as a civilian, so you don't actually have to join the military. Stuff like designing ships, weapons, vehicles, etc... If ships in particular interest you then the major shipyards are also a good option, they handle a lot of the design process. Davie in Montreal is the biggest, Seaspan is in Vancouver, and then Irving in Halifax. We also work with a lot of private companies, for example Lockheed Martin has a facility in Halifax where they are doing modernization on our Halifax class vessels, or BAE Systems, who make the Type 26 frigate. For any of these things applying as a student or new grad is immensely helpful. They know you're a student so they don't expect you to know everything and generally once you've spent some time there, learned the ropes, and hopefully made a good impression, they'll likely be happy to offer you a job. They've essentially had a trial period to test your skills, so they'll be comfortable taking you on.

@@billfarley9167 The particular shades of grey used, combined with the light angle, can tend to lend a greenish tinge at distance. A bit of haze can make this even more pronounced.

So whats the deal between both vessels? Command? Politics?? Bureaucracies???

When you reach the point where you have a hard hat and a tool belt full of tools, chances are you have a larger vest or are required to have that little "fanny pack" strapped on over the kapok life vest.

This looks so interesting. I'm only 6 minutes in and I'm having a hard time hearing the people talk with the noisy background music added. It's like trying to hear what someone is saying at a rock concert.

Glad Canada feels safe with a 450ft frigate vs a small fishing vessel. Got to the Strait of Hormuz...

I bet ya the people must wonder why us Canadians don't try to do them harm like our neighbors to the south... I'm glad our armed services act in such a good manner! Got my respect!

So the Canadian Navy is afraid of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard 🤔 I remember a time when Iran wouldn't dare go toe to toe with the U.S. Canada or Britain. Sad how politics has made us more unsafe and a mockery at that

They use an 8 round Sig pistol wow... They need a serious upgrade.

8 rounds for our navy, this is why our gun laws are so bad, America had better pistols in WW2

[@alphaomega3766]

8 rounds each is all the defense budget allows. Still better than navy bullets.

[@kevincrosby1760]

@@oliverfasola19 Shortly before this footage was shot (Around 2000) the US Military finally transitioned away from the 1911 in .45ACP. The process was well underway in 1990 when I separated. Ditto for replacing the M14 rifle for the M16/M4 rifle. Many reasons were given, but the inconvenient truth still remains. A certain segment of the population (previously prohibited from combat billets) joining the Armed Forces had problems properly handling and firing the rather large and heavy 1911 and M14. These weapons were promptly replaced with weapons more suitable for members with smaller frames, smaller hands, and less upper-body strength. Members, or members with no member. You decide.

Canadian Navy needs Destroyers back and a couple light amphibious ships in the Carrier design to operate helicopters for ASW/ Humanitarian Mission Purposes

[@jameson1239]

We’re getting the type 26 as for a amphibious assault ship or aircraft carrier we have no need as our AIRFORCE has less fighter jets then one Nimitz class carrier and we don’t have marines

[@tutaragis9050]

A Taiwanese mother fishing boat stationed at eastern pacific is used as shabu laboratory. Tuna catch from Taiwanese fishing boat are stored in the mother ship. A reefer feeder ship haul the catch to General Santos sometimes Thailand. Officers are usually Taiwanese. Fisherman are from mainland China. The agent in Manila and General 'Santos is Reefer ship. Port authorities are not allowed to board these ships during Philippine Port calls.
