Had the honor of spending some time on a Royal Canadian destroyer in Halifax and also doing ops with them. What a great group of men and women, to work with. We also hosted some of them over on our Frigate.
As ex Royal Navy/Fleet Air Arm sailor in the mid 90s, I had the honour of a short exchange vist to HMCS Restigouche, (hope I spelt that correctly?). Our Canadian comrades were magnificent hosts & took great pride in showing me around their fine ship...
FYI, Canada had the third largest navy in the world at the end of World War 2 -- right behind the USA and the UK. Canada had 434 commissioned warships in service.
2 light cruisers, 3 merchant cruisers, few aircraft carriers on the way. They even had 2-3 captured German Uboats to play with. It was neat at the end of WW2 if you consider ship types. Cool stuff to learn about.
Thank you for Your service hopefully the people who left the bad and not neccessary great comments will understand why they get up in a king side bed and continue they day like no one is protecting them
Dated a Canadian chick for awhile. She was an officer in the army and they completely blew her off, refused to pay for her medications or help her in any way. The Canadian government treats their troops despicably. And I thought the VA was bad in the US...
Was she living in the US? If she has primary residency in any other country then she probably wasn't eligible for health care benefits since she wouldn't be eligible for healthcare living outside of Canada either. Unless the military has their own separate plan for that, IDK.
Honestly I have made a lot of posts. I respect her for her service. I hope she can get what this Country owes her. There are a lot of resources that can help her and I really do hope she can find one. Vets don't need to be disrespected. Give them the help they need. Also be proud of our Vets. Show them respect
And all electrical fixtures have also to be latest as they are very light and are capable of more thereby eliminating all the junk at junctions and all of this at Emmy's Expense.
Have only visited Canadian ships, never spent any time there. Spent a lot of time with Canadian Forces in Iceland and Nova Scotia, where I was introduced to Moose Milk.
OwlKeeper2900 Janvier and the schooling. We dont use our military enough to spend a lot of money on it. No offense but the only reason America spends so much money on their military is because they use it more. We don't really use our stuff because most of the Canadian military fights along side America so we use their equipment not Canada.
All kitchen personnel are to compulsorily wear aprons and gloves and hats especially if you are working with Turkey's or removing the insides of any poultry.
Actually life on a CANADIAN Warship is amazing. Just as it is with any other NAVY around the world. I am not a active member but if you know anything. A Sailor is a Sailor. I'm sure our counterparts get everything we get. They get respect. Hot meals. Medical attention and a nice place to sleep. I want everyone to see life aboard but it might not be what you are used to
All transport especially ships are all to be brought to the latest technology ie either radiator turbines engines or nuclear engines. I would suggest radiator turbine engine with a gaseous fuel as the amount of power they produce would be comparable to a nuclear engine with only 1% of the weight.
I get that ,and I agree totally, we are getting their , and yes I also agree about the 2% of GDP but also every country calculates it differently some countries include their coastguard and boarder patrol services into that 2% Canada does not. And yes we should have more then 60 planes should be 160.
Just going to the indian ocean, it take more or less 3 months, stay there a month, come back, takes another 3 months, so it adds up pretty quickly, theres no way you can make it less longer (I'm not in the navy but am in the merchant marine, and we also take more or less 6 months for those kind of routes)
Bruh. How is it that they have a single laptop with Skype installed for the entire ship of 250+ members? I hope this is (from 2014) really outdated by now. I mean, you'd figure that a solid satellite-internet connection and a dozen more laptops wouldn't cost more than 5 digits. That would be *pennies*, next to the operating and maintenance cost of a ship that size.
Dear god; when I was in the RCN that guy watching TV in the lounge that had to weigh over 300 lbs would have been relieved of duty and confined to base Naden or Stadacona hospital to lose that weight. Given a reasonable time to conform or suffer a medical discharge. He certainly wouldn't have gotten a sea duty posting while being a bluto.
Not as big a joke as the Royal Navy here in the UK, It's so broke they are selling amphibious assault ships to Brazil. There are barley enough ships left to patrol the UK'S interests. The only aircraft carrier we currently have the Queen Elisabeth won't get the F35 aircraft until 2020! Before Brexit it was even considered putting French Aircraft on it until UK could afford some!
SO SAD TO KNOW OUR CANADA DATED DIESEL SUBMARINE ARE STILL LOADED WITH TORPEDOS INSTEAD OF MISSILES! WE NEED AT LEAST 4 NUCLEAR SUB TO DEFEND OUR VAST SEA REGION!
Life in a Canadian warship.. Captain: Fire! Crew: Enemy boat is sinking, Captain. Survivors in the water. What do we do with them? Captain: Apologize and grant them asylum.
ESF2007 Pacific: That’s argumentative. My observation was when a RCAF Squadron was on detachment to Miramar in San Diego. I met many of then during a weekend barbecue and everyone in the squadron ended a sentence with EH. I Have never heard Americans end their sentence with EH.
You guys do know what navy stands for right? N A V Y - never again volunteer yourself. She should have explained to the good viewers how a 1 and 3 watch rotation works.
haha dont get all butthurt. It looks way more like a "home" than a ship. Any improvement to quality of life is key. I'd do anything to skype my family during deployment. On my last deployment that was almost 10 months long, we werent even allowed to use our own personal bed sheets. When they did berthing inspections, the standard issued sheets had to be on the bed. No Facebook access unless at port, sailor phones were expensive and quality was crap.
I was in the US army for 21yrs. You NEVER EVER NEVER left a weapon unattended. It always has to be within arms reach. In Germany the Canadians would lean their weapons up against a wall and wander away, not even post a guard. They never could understand why that was a big no-no.
Had the honor of spending some time on a Royal Canadian destroyer in Halifax and also doing ops with them. What a great group of men and women, to work with. We also hosted some of them over on our Frigate.
Touioet
What's life like on a Canadian warship?
Captain: "Fire!"
*hits target*
Captain: "Now issue an apology."
By the way Canada has destroyers. Can't say sorry to people that don't exist anymore. Just sayin
@@scottcampbell9283 We do?
@@Nephalem2002 not anymore lol

How True!! HA!
With your father away for so long that is his job. My father was gone for six months at a time. It is a way of life for navy families.
My old ship!!! Loved my time onboard.
As ex Royal Navy/Fleet Air Arm sailor in the mid 90s, I had the honour of a short exchange vist to HMCS Restigouche, (hope I spelt that correctly?). Our Canadian comrades were magnificent hosts & took great pride in showing me around their fine ship...
Do the ships missiles have "We are sorry" painted on the side?
I saw a photo of this Canadian infantry carrying a shoulder fired rocket (a LAW) with "To whom it may concern." Sharpied on it. 😂
@@PeakCasual I loved that story. Thanks
no they say F you
Oh my God... When I was in the Navy during the first Gulf War things were a lot more restrictive,
This looks pretty rough already, how much more restrictive was it back then?
Do the ship's missiles come with banners reading "sorry" attached?
LMAO So funny!!!
CrazyCashGaming some, yes.
CRazycashwhatever. didn"t you lose the Vietnam war o sorry
Yes.
Hey, has Canada ever won a war without the UK's help?
FYI, Canada had the third largest navy in the world at the end of World War 2 -- right behind the USA and the UK. Canada had 434 commissioned warships in service.
2 light cruisers, 3 merchant cruisers, few aircraft carriers on the way. They even had 2-3 captured German Uboats to play with. It was neat at the end of WW2 if you consider ship types. Cool stuff to learn about.
Yea because the Japanese and German Navy's were destroyed lol
Eddi Haskell it doesn’t even matter how 🤦♂️ we had before now we don’t
And now look at us. A couple rusty hand me downs creaking down the coast line.
Great.
@@noah-vu6ic That's right - never forget the math!...subtraction in this case..😆👍
Im joining the Canadian Navy myself, and I hope I will make it!
Awesome dude.
Luxury compared to my father’s ship in WWII. Corvette HMCS Pictou, K-146.
Always keep improving your Navy, update to latest weapons, etc.
PLEASE CHECK OUT CANADIAN DIESEL SUBMARINE BEFORE YOU SAY ANYTHING!
Is that the HMCS Gretzky?
The bar...yeah
Samuel Johnson said "being on a ship is like being in prison with the chance of drowning."
Why is there 250 on this ship? That seems an awfully high for a ship that size? Or am I wrong?
Pretty much standard
Thank you for

A Bar? Missed that one first time ,a freaking bar.
USS Kitty Hawk CV63 Vet. These canoes are spoiled.
They hope the day will never come... but they stand ready to sail straight up and shout sternly at someone if called to by their country.
Do they serve poutine on the mess decks?
Inspadave yep
And soup!
No .Our Sailors get better food than that but honestly you should try a A&W teen burger. Amazing.
Why do you think they call it the "mess" deck?

And forgot to mention that's without being away on duty, I know guys that were in afganistan on deployment getting and extra 1000 a month tax free..

Missile inbound on the starboard bow, eh?

Pulled curtains means a sailor is "sleeping"
Have only visited Canadian ships, never spent any time there. Spent a lot of time with Canadian Forces in Iceland and Nova Scotia, where I was introduced to Moose Milk.
Cold.
It would be great if Canadians took their military seriously so it would be well-funded and capable of having the latest technology.
R. M. Tabrizi "learnt"
Sorry but you guys don't have money for all that now that Trudeau has opened the door to refugees the US doesn't want.
I don't think you know your facts... There not out there fooling around not taking it "seriously"

2014 and windows vista, at least get 7
The Sea King helicopters are gone now. They were great in their day but needed replacement years ago. The Sikorsky CH-148 Cyclone has replaced it.
Wrong we just spin our pilots in a circle really really fast. Doesn't show up on radar
Yeah and so far they have the same risk factors as the sea kings
at least they have a bar
Alcohol consumption was allowed in the mid eighties on board the Canuks ships.
"Ah geez not a Timbits in sight".
Do they get hazardous duty pay? Just joshin' ya.
Pretty sick

Wow I wonder what HMCS Glacé bay would be like
It would take half the year off and have a wicked sense of humour
Officer place looks nice I personally plan on being a medical officer
To avoid sea-time? You'll be posted to a hospital, not a frigate.
Keep pushing for what you want. Also I can say I respect you for that and wanting to save another life

If you are from East coast Canada that would be your team since there are no football teams there
Step up to the bar I had to smuggle my drinks on board usn
They have a bar!!
Yup, opened only when in port though.
I would hate to be on that or any ship and was glad that I was in the Air Force.
Air Force yeeet
I can see a Canadian starship on Star Trek -
Captain:
FIRE!
Open hailing frequency
"Sorry aboot that!"
This is the U.S.S. Enterprise, eh?
Reporter is smoking hot
Those racks, leather chairs, that's more like a cruise ship!
I bet that’s a very polite warship
Why seven long months cant it be reduced?
Just going to the indian ocean, it take more or less 3 months, stay there a month, come back, takes another 3 months, so it adds up pretty quickly, theres no way you can make it less longer (I'm not in the navy but am in the merchant marine, and we also take more or less 6 months for those kind of routes)
AhBenCalisse00 i see thank you so so much
I imagine everyone is very polite and the guns shoot flowers and apologies! 😅😝
Canada has a navy?
It'scanada, they don't have "WarShips", war for Canada is no longer allowed, just ask the Punk.
Are they now called Friendships?
Yes
In The Navy.
forgot to show the tattoo shop they have
Bruh.
How is it that they have a single laptop with Skype installed for the entire ship of 250+ members? I hope this is (from 2014) really outdated by now. I mean, you'd figure that a solid satellite-internet connection and a dozen more laptops wouldn't cost more than 5 digits.

Lol dont worry, this is extremely outdated. We have wifi on the ships now
I kind of expected the "war" ship to be hippy barge loaded with picket signs, magic markers and painted like a rainbow...
Why was that sailor describing measurements in feet. Shouldn't he be using the metric system.
Many still use feet etc. I do.
Didn't know they had war ships
I am pretty sure we had three battleships and they sunk. We just never made more cause like why? Its not like we need them
Actually we don't. We have Halifax class Destroyers.
Impressive technology from Canada!
I want to join the navy so bad
Pine Cone do it
Did you?
Update plz

They need a hockey rink on there!
Wait. Canada has warships?
YES!!
Yes we do
Wait...a SEA KING? OH CRIPES....
Canda has a warship ? For war ? Does Canada knows ?
Yes, yes and yes.
I wonder if this ship is still in operation......hard to believe we had the third largest navy in the world post WW II.........now it's a joke......
FMHammyJ it's the Destroyer and all three Canadian Destroyers are discontinued due to rust.
Check again, this is a frigate which is still operating

That’s because most countries after ww2 were destroyed

And for the vegetarian meal we promise the cow only ate grass...
Unrestricted access??? In your dreams! Lol
You got that right. There are many restricted parts of the ship, the communication spaces for example.

well shiver me timbers eh
It's all fun and games till you have to do a round of shakes to a bunch of grumpy people who been out for 5 months.

Ya except Canadian. Lol
