The Commonwealth of Chrisdom

CoC
6 SSP Barracuda Class submarines have launched, and deployed or ready for deployment. Power is provided AIP System, which allows several weeks of being submerged. They also have a degree of stealth.

Hudson Strait, NC
A submarine, type Barracuda AIP, SS, tried to get in to take pictures of the training going on in Hudson Bay. Unable to develop a clean entry with a corvette and patrols. Not sure what other security elements might be deployed. Satellite images showed aircraft and helicopters flying conducting training and tactical operations

[BurtWolf]

Chris - your collection seems endless!! The submarines look very cool, too!

Hudson Straits New Canada.
A CP-140 Aurora from RCAF station Iqaluit flew over the straits when it detected a unknown object on its search radar trying to enter Hudson's Bay, the Aurora started flying low to the objects location to drop sonar buoys in the water, to get a accurate reading on what it is, then the aircraft flew back up to proper altitude.

(CP-140 Pilot): "Any Idea on what it could be?"
(CP-140 Radar Operator): "Most likely a Sub I think."
(CP-140 ESM Operator): " Maybe its those CofC guys trying to take pics of our ships during practice again.)
(CP-140 Radar Operator): " But there wont be any RCN ships scheduled for practice at Hudson's Bay till Friday, the only aircraft in the Bay right now are from the Canadian Coast Guard conducting Search and Rescue Training.)
(CP-140 Pilot): "Well hopefully we will scare that Sub out of our waters, will circle over the Subs location and alert CFB St Johns about our findings."

East of Hudson Strait
U-214 is being pinged by a ship, it’s believed that the FFG has had successful detections. That is why it is heading east, now 11.5 NM outside the entrance of the strait, to be international waters within minutes.
Barracuda more stealthy was tracking the FFG pass by following the U-214. Firing solutions entered, re-entered repeatedly in the exercise. Followed the FFG out riding under a cargo ship heading to sea. The Barracuda did detect some dumping in the channel and in NC waters.
. In the northern approaches a 688 detected aircraft and NC ships for two days at distances, several from satellite feed, it headed into the Arctic Circle. A Sturgeon did the same. NC responded quickly enough in a peacetime operation.

Greenlanddom
Two submarines returned to port, U-214 and the SS Barracuda (AIP). Uploading data to the network on things learned. Unfortunately, we were unable to get any update noise data on the NC CV. Two of the three submarines that were in the NC Northern Approaches are returning to port in Greenlanddom.
One conclusion from the evaluation of the NC frigates and corvettes is they did seem a bit timid, although they did demonstrate a through tactical prosecution. The Barracuda did sneak by the group without being detected in the strait. Contributing factors identified: new/inexperienced commander, certainly not expecting the incursions, heavy traffic in the straits, timidity from their fleet being smacked in the Black Sea War, equipment isn’t sufficient, the sub crew was excellent, the sub is new with stealth coating, and it is small and very quiet.
As the CoC Navy evaluates our performances the RNC Navy is doing the same. The only crew on board the ship that knew were the weapon officers to protect all involved in the exercises.

CoC
The Commonwealth has acquired new aircraft from the civilian market, militarizing them for light lift, medium range. The new C-150 need the finishing touches for light airborne. Fueling probes, chaff dispensers, rear ramp, ECM suite, etc.

[chrisswim]

Updated C-150. I may try a different green on another C-150 to compare.





Fueling probe apparent, isn’t it?

[redleg]

Looks great Chris! I like both the camo ad the plain light gray versions!

[chrisswim]

C-150, the Commonwealth will decide which camo to utilize.

Camastan Dom, some people in senior military positions, their families are leaving the Republic.
Mostly peaceful protestors have organized harassment groups to attack, intimidate the existing leadership. An Eagle line is opening, contacts and info to exit the country safely, quickly. Finding short-term havens in other countries. CoC has activated ships to rescue any. The Camastan Dom members in Upper Chamber and Lower Chamber are still seated. They are concerned.
The armored brigade is still in Ukraine. Members are concerned. A unit of infantry are flying back to help restore order.

Several CoC ships, including 4 corvettes of the LCS Freedom Class and two Perry class frigates we in port in Camastan Dom this morning taking people on board. The ships were loaded with people from rail to rail, bow to stern, inside and out. A few radio signals were received that the ships would be fired on. Weapon stations were manned, ready to respond. A series of fly-by of Gripin JAS-39 flew Air CAP and other aircraft ready to provide ground attack if needed.
Reports are coming in that it is getting more difficult to leave Camastan Dom. Bands of ramble groups are threatening those trying to leave. Crowds are growing in the street in support of the Evil One. Indications are that people will need to do that or they will be a decoration on a tree or a lamp post. The CoC is welcoming the citizens out that wish to move to another Dom. At the highest levels, the funds are frozen by the Commonwealth of any future funding. The seats in the Upper and Lower Chambers are suspended pending determination of Camastan Dom political policy and if membership in the CoC continues.

Baltic Sea
Estonia has welcome the refugees from Camastan. Only a trickle of people have been able to leave CamastanDom over the last 36 hours. Estonia has expressed interest to become a member of the Commonwealth, certainly in light of the situation in the new Communist Camastan and the murders that have taken place. Estonia is a member of NATO, we contribute 2% of the GDP for defense. Visits and examination will be conducted by the CoC and Estonia. The Challenger 1 tanks and MCV-80 are moving from Ukraine through Poland, Lithuania, Lativa, into Estonia.
. There is concern in the Balzac Republic, which is a Dom, with elections coming up now that Cama has had a coup and executions. Will the elections have a different political administration? Hardliners, more Green Party, the Avatar Beer Party or the current Democratic Republican Party? Goat Island has received reinforcements by Balzac Army forces.
