ieatcrayonz Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 USS My Big 10 Inch 873313[/snapback] Very funny. How about we call the next Canadian submarine one of these names: 1. USS "Hey look Canada made a submarine " 2. USS "The only Canadian boat that doesn't sink " 3. USS "Remove from box, remove from wrapper, fill with baking soda" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although why would Canadian subs use the USS in their names? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be an 86 Chevy Vandura with the doors caulked shut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuckincincy Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 Better an amphibious transport, though. Lots of Marines in her... 873312[/snapback] And a medical staff schooled in global infectious disease...Paris hits a double! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One might have pause with Canada's air and ground forces - their small size - but the Navy - small as it may be - is strong because of Canada's lifelong heritage of maritime activities. That Navy is more than the raw numbers might imply...sailors second to none... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bungee Jumper Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 Canada has several capable subs...and though the boats may not be the latest, 873427[/snapback] Actually, the boats are pretty new and shiny British diesel-electric boats...save the one that, on its way over from England, caught fire in the middle of the Atlantic last year.

Is it one of the recent Blom & Voss diesel "re-breathers" or licensee construction since you mention England?? Regardless, I stand by my assertion...Canadians are sailors of the first water...

Bungee Jumper Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 Didn't see that - shake-down cruise problem? Is it one of the Blom & Voss diesel "re-breathers", for lack of my better description? Nope. Ex-Upholder class. Only about 10-15 years old, from what I understand...not young, but still a first rate diesel-electric. Canadians took delivery in England, three days out on its way to Halifax, a fire started. I never heard what caused it, just that they found it wasn't human error. Regardless, I stand by my assertion...Canadians are sailors of the first water... 873570[/snapback] No argument...anyone who's read anything on WWII in the North Atlantic knows that.

JimBob2232 Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 Right now she's slated for decomming in 2013. With the way these things slip to the right it could just as well be 2023. 873319[/snapback] I GUARANTEE you the enterprise wont be in commission in 2023. Anyone who has set foot on that ship in the last 10 years knows why. And the worst part about naming a ship after Ford, is that not only is it the USS Ford, but its the USS FORD CLASS! It needs to be the America. End of story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
