Canada (Imagi-Nation)

The RPNW is alarmed at the fact that a volunteer force with out dated equipment is the only defense against a northern incursion. Looks like I am going to have to beef up my air defense systems. Canada is an open door.

CoC ..... in the head of some bureaucrats.... uhmmmm ... should we .... go get our Doms back?? Some citizens prefer being members of the Commonwealth.
Besides, if they don’t follow orders they get in trouble. .....
Waking up when 5he alarm goes off ... the husband asks his wife, “you look perplexed dearheart, what’s wrong honey?â€￾
She replies, “I had this nightmare dear, that NC is falling apart, that citizens want to be members, a civil war... just nasty. I need to get to cabinet meeting. Hope your grad students do the research they should do, bye.â€￾

Ok, never mind I’ll bring in CF-18s from Winnipeg, Cold lake and Moose Jaw to those arctic bases instead of that volunteer force, it was a good idea at the time, but now I see it as a problem.

The CF-18s are inbound to the Airports of Whitehorse, Inuvik, and Yellowknife. In order to bolster our arctic defenses.

The Arctic air patrol has been advised to return to base immediately, let the CF-18s take over from here.

[MechCommander]

The Few CF-18s we sent are now currently stationed at FOB Inuvik, RCAF Station Whitehorse, and RCAF Station Yellowknife, to ensure that no more EE TU-95 Bears enters into the Arctic again.

The FUP 1 Program is currently underway, the RCN has selected the rather unused KGV Battleship HMCS John A McDonald (BB-140) to be the test bed to try out the New Weapon systems. First is the BGM-109 Tomahawk. She will have one Armoured Box launcher carrying the New Land attack missile mounted on top of No 2 Main Turret to began live test firing on a abandoned hulk of an old Freighter off the Atlantic Coast in Nova Scotia.

They also revised the BB upgrade with the following.

The Octuple mounted 25mm Bushmasters will be linked with a Navalized version of the Skyguard Radar FCS system so the AA guns are more then capable to shoot down jets

Her 40mm Bofors are replaced with 6 Phalanx CIWS systems one near the bridge 4 broadside on the castle decks, and one aft of the rear castle deck, they along with the single RIM-116 rolling Airframe missiles in the aft missile mount will defend aginest enemy missile attacks.

The Armored Box launchers used for the KGVs for the Tomahawks will be the same as found on the Iowa class 4 of these Mark 143s will be mounted on the aft castle deck near the aft funnel.

Her 16 QF 5.25-inch DP Guns are kept, but for her work in AA operations, the guns will be switched to use the Sky Guard FCS until the guns are switched back to deal with targets at sea.

4 Quad Harpoon Launchers will be installed in the aft broadsides of the ship.

The 10 BL 14in Guns are kept on all three turrets, and MK 29 Missile launchers will be installed on top of No 2 and No 3 Main turrets firing RIM-7 Sea Sparrow missiles.

The New Logistical System currently being implemented as part of the reforms will be a more Cooperative Organization that is made up of Logistical Officers from all across the NCAF, the goal is to create a more efferent and less time consuming way to transporting supplies to the troops on the front.

Another NCAF reform is to have the senior officers be more directly involved in the frontlines with the rest of the troops in order to inspire the men to win, but caution is to be taken as the loss of a senior officers in battle will have a disastrous consequences to the command structure. HQ units will be setup near the frontlines to make this work.

Seeing the troubles that is brewing in the NWT and Vancouver Island the NC Government has decided in a emergency meeting to divert the finding from the NCAFs military projects and sending it into the civilian sector in a effort to improve the people’s quality of life in the country.

[chrisswim]

The reply:
"Screw that, we will take care of our quality of life."

[MechCommander]

Actually your mistaken Chris 90% of New Canada favored the surge in money for the civilian sector, and it has made a huge impact on their lives.

A handful of Ex KDF AH-1 Cobras has arrived in CFB Toronto to undergo field testing by the RCAF to determining the viability of such a Attack Helo. same goes for the RCN in CFB Esquimult for testing onboard the Carrier HMCS Sliver Dart.

With gun rights now fully restored in New Canada, sales of non-restricted firearms from BC to Nova Scotia skyrocketed to record levels, Hunting and fishing activities has also risen as well the Money from these sales will help fight aginset the spread of COVID-19.

Coming up on Saturday is GHQs Hockey Night in New Canada on NCBC. Its the Vancouver Canucks vs the Toronto Maple Leafs in a exhibition game in the GHQ arena in Vancouver.

The RCN will be conducting its first ever Global Patrol as a means of making the Navy more proactive in global affairs, this patrol as decided by the Navy's Top Brass however will consist of at least only one ship of a Frigate or Destroyer class with helicopter carrying capability for observation duty's, No capital ships such as Carriers and Battleships will be used on these kind of patrols deeming it to be risky for such valuable vessels, due to lessons learned during the Black Sea War, it shows us that Capital ships can become easy targets for a determined enemy. As such all Capital ship will remain docked at port for their safety, and to be well maintained and cared for, until they are called for major operation.

The Ship to Partake in this first Global Patrol is the St Laurent Class Destoryer HMCS Skenna. her first destination is the Pacific side of South America, she will leave CFB Esquimult in the morning.

[chrisswim]

Battleships are much safer in harbor than at sea.
But that isn’t what they were made for.

[MechCommander]

I know, but what happened in the Bosporus Straits during the war, has made us very nervous about sending out our Carriers and Battleships at sea on such patrols, fearing that they will become easy targets for the EE or other enemy's out there. Thats why we figure its for the best to keep them docked at home for safety reasons. That includes our Supercarrier HMCS Canada. I cannot afford to lose more capital ships.

[Hoth_902]

Mech,. You lost your carrier because you sent it through a narrow strait that had no room to maneuver, you did not have air superiority and you did not have proper destroyer anti air or anti sub.

[MechCommander]

Well It does not matter anymore, and as the end result it took us a awhile to rebuild after the war. Now in order to make sure that such a tragedy will not happen again, the NCAF Council has decided to heavily restrict the use of the Carriers and Battleships to only large scale engagements to which such vessels are needed and must be heavily protected by the fleet at all times in a warzone, the rest of the time the ships will remain docked at port and kept maintained by the ports work crew. All training and practice for these types of vessels will be carried out in land based facilities or in a simulator.
