Its a lot of things. Once each year we sent ships down to the naval station Roosevelt Roads Puerto just to paint the ship and that was over 25 years ago. Ships now get a full paint ship each time they go into a refit by contractors and it could be years between refits. The type of paint is...

I can hear the comments about the rust discharge and why didn't the ship paint them over on social media already....

Good old marine mammal reporting. No message is required for a sighting only if the mammal is hurt or otherwise in distress. The log must be filled out by the BWK though.

I know about the polar medal. They made the criteria so untenable that its only been awarded to a handful of people and just a couple of military.

Perhaps its time for a Arctic Bar for operations above the Arctic Circle?

Some people got coins.

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

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.

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 would say they'll have to do that if they want to continue to make money.

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.

Hope they don't put in too much stuff, what I been hearing is that Asterix will be history at some point.

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.

Max Bernay's left today for her transit to Esquimalt.

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.
