In fact against knowledge of the Canadian Govt the Group was requested and sent to Cuba during the Crisis...but that was before the Iroquois were built. The Bonnie was still only at its min-life so it was expected to be around for sometime. just before the new frigates arrived were converted into command destroyers to augment the frigates. If you look at pics she was originally DDH 280 after the transition she became DDG 280

      @@billfarley9167 The particular shades of grey used, combined with the light angle, can tend to lend a greenish tinge at distance. A bit of haze can make this even more pronounced. This may actually be deliberate, as the sea tends to lean a bit towards green near the horizon under the same conditions.
      In modern times, not sure exactly how important this is. Figure radar had your masts painted while you were still hull-down over the horizon. It's not as if we were limited to what some seaman on the bridge wing could see.

    I had the honor of taking a tour of the HMCS Calgary in Vancouver B.C. when I was staying at my Grandparents after my father passed away in the 90's. (Still have a keychain! lol) And all who I met were such down to earth people. I later joined the U.S. Navy (July 2000) and was assigned the USS John C. Stennis CVN-74 where the HMCS Vancouver was part of our 'Strike Group'. Sadly that crew was seemingly unfriendly and rigid A.F. in Hawaii when I met many of her crew.. So whats the deal between both vessels? Command? Politics?? Bureaucracies??? I get it, we are all human and are subject to things we'd rather not have to deal with so not attempting to shame anyone, but It was such a polarized difference it makes me wonder to this day. Still! I saw so much from so many Navies around the world it was one hell of an experience. I sure miss it alot. Those were the good days it seemed.

    For those who are commenting about the current state of the fleet, rest assured that it's changing, though it will take another 10 years do to how long ships take to build. I work for the team responsible for designing the vessels for the Coast Guard, and we have a sister team at DND. After decades of neglect in both fleets, the government finally realized that ships aren't free and that you kinda need them if you want your waterways to be maintained and safe. For the CCG we have about 8 classes of vessel either in concept or being built right now, with probably 20-30 ships planned to be built. In terms of the Navy, from what I know, they have 6 of the 8 Harry DeWolf class offshore patrol vessels on the way (we get the other 2) with 1 already done, and the planned 15 (and possibly 5 modified version for large area air defense, and 2 Coast Guard ships) Canadian Surface Combatant ships, which are Type 26 frigates in essence. It would be nice to get some destroyers, though to be fair, these frigates are not to far off the mark, they are actually bigger than any previous destroyers in the fleet and other than their lack of ballistic offensive armament (not necessary these days with missiles) are functionally destroyers.
    It's worth mentioning that while I'm involved in the design of some vessels, I do not have any sway over what role the ships are assigned, what projects get created, or what funding is allocated. They simply tell us "Make a ship that can do these things and for this price" and we have to figure out the rest.

      @@tylerdalton3267 They came to my university looking for engineering students for Co-op. I guess my interview went well. DND has a lot of similar jobs you can apply for as a civilian, so you don't actually have to join the military. Stuff like designing ships, weapons, vehicles, etc... If ships in particular interest you then the major shipyards are also a good option, they handle a lot of the design process. Davie in Montreal is the biggest, Seaspan is in Vancouver, and then Irving in Halifax. We also work with a lot of private companies, for example Lockheed Martin has a facility in Halifax where they are doing modernization on our Halifax class vessels, or BAE Systems, who make the Type 26 frigate.
      For any of these things applying as a student or new grad is immensely helpful. They know you're a student so they don't expect you to know everything and generally once you've spent some time there, learned the ropes, and hopefully made a good impression, they'll likely be happy to offer you a job. They've essentially had a trial period to test your skills, so they'll be comfortable taking you on.

      In a nutshell, if you are on deck but are carrying no equipment, you have a CO2 vest that is the same size and shape as the fanny pack some wear around town, while biking or hiking, etc. The more gear that you are required to carry, the bigger the vest gets. When you reach the point where you have a hard hat and a tool belt full of tools, chances are you have a larger vest or are required to have that little "fanny pack" strapped on over the kapok life vest.
      The OP simply extended this concept to the point of absurdity in order to make a humorous point. Personally, I would have went in the direction of trying to navigate shipboard passageways, hatches, etc. while wearing a tool belt and required flotation/safety gear....Petty Officer Penguin waddles to his station...
