If Canadian aircraft enter ROD airspace they will be shot down. You can watch transmissions from ROD television providers.

[MechCommander]

Fair enough. No one from NC will fly over to the ROD ever.

I missed whatever was to happen here, however I can guess.

Still with NC looking to field four aircraft carriers and the general increase in large numbers of Navy strike groups floating around.
The Karma Navy will become more pro-active in monitoring our SLOC.
To this end the KDF has fast tracked the Swordfish aircraft procurement program, and the modernization of the surface fleet.

[MechCommander]

Fortunately Karma all of my ships are still in dock at their home bases on stand down mode Until things settle down and relations improve. Plus only the Sky Warriors and the Sky Hawks are considered Strike Aircraft in the FAA, the Super Hornets and the Tomcats are being placed in different roles.

The RPNW joins the Karma Nation in its alarm over the Maple Menace. This rapid expansion and modernization of its military has the potential for destabilization in the Western Hemisphere. The RPNW is reviewing options to counter this new threat. The RPNW propose joint patrols to continue in the region of NC cost line.

Greenlanddom is highly concerned how the 4 carrier NC Navy will exert its influence in the region. So far it has been hospitable and peaceful. The Commonwealth is working on a base with permission from NC. Greatly appreciative.
When the carriers arrive will they only sail around the Hudson Bay, sail in the Northwest Passages. NC does not need carriers for that. The airbases provide a much lower cost for defense of the home country. Carriers are a force projection asset.

[MechCommander]

Well its a pretty big "IF" Chris. The 4 carrier plan may not even happen at all if it proves to be unfeasible. And you maybe right its cheaper to keep land bases near the arctic. For now this plan remains on the drawing board.

NC does appreciate the help from our CofC Ally, hopefully our help in guiding the CofC fleet through the Northwest Passage will help improve NCs reputation.

[chrisswim]

The escort is doing well. I can certify that no more than 1 ship has sunk and another with a breached hull as we transit with escort.
The CoC appreciates the help and partnership of NC. The cruise is going swimmingly well.

[MechCommander]

Your welcome CofC will get you safely on the other side of the passage.

Only three more days until the festivities begin! The motor pools and billets are ready and the local drinking establishments have stocked up for the Tanker's Ball! The welcome reception begins Sunday at noon and then it's bang time!

[7.62]

Don't worry the cavalry are coming, well the Dragoons and some other yobs.
Not the best of weather today, still making good time heading on down to the ROD.



Knox Class and one of the new (1/2400) Fearsome Class LPD.

The CoC task force has entered the Pacific Ocean. ETA in port is 0700.
Request 4 berthing for the ships, at least two for the RoRos. Anchorage in harbor is suitable if necessary.
Two C-141 and two 737 are bringing in tank and support crews.
Balzac Republic is sending in the Bertha Tanker, extended 747 Tanker Saturday a 737 Tanker Monday, Wednesday a third Friday another Big Bertha Tanker and a 737 Tanker Friday. C-5 on loan from the US is flying in Saturday to help with Balzac Beer set up.

Those are great looking tanks!
