Good looking Task Force/patrol.

[redleg]

I can't see the picture of the patrol. is it still posted?

Perhaps when you depart the ROD some of our destroyers will head out with you and we can shoot some stuff.

[MechCommander]

Odd? as the Picture i posted of my Patrol came out ok on my End?

And Good idea about the shoot out it will give the Type 26 a chance to use its Sea Cat and Exocet Missiles.

The chef engineer onboard the Type 26 Frigate, HMCS Fraser advises the Captain to get the rest of the Pacific Patrol to slow to 27 Knots as he reported that the engine is taking too much stress just to keep up with the rest of the fleet it cannot make 30 knots.

Meanwhile the Type 26 design team onboard the Fraser celebrated their engineering triumph with a dinner onboard the ship. They are excited to get the chance to try out her weapons in a naval exercise with the ROD.

[MechCommander]

It took longer then planned due to the HMCS Fraser's slower speed the RCN 2nd Pacific Patrol has arrived at their first port of call The ROD. The engine room crew is assessing how much stress the engine took, just to reach here. they will remain in the ROD till after the Easter long weekend. Public tours of the Type 26 Frigate are now open.

[redleg]

Welcome to the ROD! We will definitely be touring your ship. And looking forward to shooting some stuff on your way out after Easter.

[MechCommander]

With the Public tours of the Type 26 frigate HMCS Fraser wrapping up, The Pacific patrol will head out to its next port of call, after a test of its missiles at the RODs naval gun range.

[MechCommander]

The Pacific Patrol is heading back out to sea for their next port of call, the Outboard Islands, though HMCS Fraser is returning back to their Pacific base in New Canada, for a serious engine overhaul, she won't be participating in the RODs target range.

[redleg]

Thanks for visiting, and let's blast some stuff on your way out of town!

[MechCommander]

The Pacific patrol will gladly join the ROD in blasting stuff on their gun range.

[MechCommander]

Our Ships had a blast blowing up Targets at the Naval Range with the ROD ships. Maybe next Patrol the Type 26 will finally be able to test her weapons out.

After Months of planning, Drafting and bureaucracy by the NC Army, their new Panther C1 Tank Doctrine, is officially released.

The new tank doctrine, eschews the idea of getting close to the enemy, in favour of using the longer then average range of the Panthers 130mm Gun to snipe targets from positions, beyond the enemy armours effective range. Then the Panther must move to a different position to avoid any sort of counterfire, using its loitering munitions, to keep the enemy off guard during the shift.

HMCS Fraser has arrived back to our main RCN Base in BC, though she has to be towed back in by HMCS Calgray, after the Fraser's engineer reported that the engine is completely ruined from the trip with the Pacific Patrol to the ROD Island. She will have to be placed in Dry dock for a complete engine replacement before the Fraser can sail again. HMCS Mackenzie the Type 26 originally intended to take part in the Patrol, is back in service, following repairs to her electrical systems.



Meanwhile the Pacific Patrol has arrived in Mexico for their second Port of Call, they will meet with their Mexican Navy counterparts for the day.

[MechCommander]

A Major incident took place at CFB Halifax when the Type 26 Frigate HMCS St Laurent, Sank at dock before she was about to be commissioned, Transport NC along with the RCN is currently investigating the sinking to determine what happened to the ship, St Laurent is considered a total loss. A salvage crew will get the ship re floated and towed away from the dock to a salvage yard for scrapping.

Halifax Frigate life extension program
The RCN has ordered a new life extension program to be placed on the Halifax Class frigates to extend their service lives long past their original retirement date. the process included replacing the Sea Sparrow and Harpoon missiles with the same Sea Cat and Exocet missiles that the Type 26 currently uses. its expected to start later in the week.
