Great interview, through the struggle we keep pushing through . I’m happy to hear that clearances diver and vow capabilities are supported by our top brass by our commitments in OP Reassurance! DEEP SEA!
‘Design spirals’.. sums things up amongst many of the 🇨🇦 procurements. Glad he recognized this as we need assets out there sooner rather than later and not 20+ years down the road, then they’ll be dealing with obsolete equipment.
Could he be anymore of a dork !! It would be nice to see some NEW subs in CDN. But don't hold your breath just yet..................there are Four Trafalgar class submarines up for grabs in Devonport England, and we seem to always get the UK's junk.
So basically the RCN will not be investing in high end capable vessels like lhd’s or ESB’s that will give the RCN better flexibility and improve their operational capabilities. They need to have organic over the horizon capabilities,no they don’t need a marine corps but maritime trained army infantry regiments that can perform those tasks. The Canadian Armed Forces are hindered by the political ideology of their political leaders who keep the doctrine of depend on our allies to meet our needs, the Canadian Armed Forces deserves better.
That's just not a thing appropriate for the size of the CF. The new 15 Type 26s will be top of the line for ASW and provide solid air defense to be able to integrate and offer a LOT of value for naval operations. If ground troops are needed, they will be airlifted along with the hardware needed. LHD-style ships are an offense capability and just doesn't fit within the budget or mandate of the canadian forces. I personally think we should have one specifically meant for humanitarian mission deployments, but I'm different lol
Our Navy cannot deploy the Army for amphibious operations. That would require assistance by allied Navies. I think it's rare for our Army to even get that training I knpw they have done it along side the USN/USMC but it's few and far between training wise.
@@funkybuddha2448 That's understandable in regards to the budget, but they could have purchased the ex USN Tarawa class LHA's for a reasonable price, at least 2 of them for Multipurpose operations to include HADR . The CAF will need that organic Expeditionary capability sooner than what they believe especially in the Indo Pacific which requires an armed forces to have that capability, Canada must stop playing catchup and start being proactive in their acquisitions
Well still see years of cutting military spending at same time upgrading old then letting go and investing in government programs once one of largest naval fleets and ship building heritage closing down ship or giving money to Irving to close Saint John ship building give them money bring back workforce from west open shipyard back up in saint john New Brunswick cut building times down
What a joke, only building 2 new replenishment ships. So if one is in drydock getting overhauled they are down to 1 ship. Wouldn't common sense dictate you should build 3 of those?
The RCN has never been in a weaker state at it is right now. Littoral fleet: about 26 vessels, heaviest armaments; Six 25 mil pop guns. Seemingly the backbone of its self defence, each vessel two WW2 machine guns in open air pedastals as if in Pearl Harbor 1941. Four dangerous to thier crew submarines. Eight Orca vessels west coast, zero deck armament. 12 Kingston vessels whom in 2014 they removed its 40mm Bofors, yet replaced with nothing. Twelve over worked aging frigates, our blue water navy. So for strictly 202, 000 kms coastline defence: zero missiles, zero torpedoes zero depth charges, zero 20mm CIWS. Pathetic joke of NATO. This would be funny if not the subject of defence of our realm.
this recruiting idea is not new they tried this in the eighties and it did not work and it wont work now the military is gone completely Woke and people do not want this.
Question does the British monarchy put food on Canadians tables? Does it pay my bills? Does it build me a home? Does the symbol keep me safe? The answer to all is no. But America 🇺🇸 does all of these I am North American we need to embrace our American identity monarchy divides us

Great interview ... thank you for doing this presentation.
Sounds like a very friendly navy.
Great to hear this finally !
Vice Admiral Topshee is great!

"O, Canada! America stands on guard for thee."
(You hope.)
3 navy officer we dont have any ships to give because they are all broken just like my whole career of 36 years in the Canadian Navy.

So what happened to Officer X and Hayden Evans? Why is the RCN/CAF so shy about punishing r@pists in the military?
Canada's most seaworthy sub: in The West Edmonton Mall
Its been out of service for years much like having a credible submarine service that does more than provide training for our sailors on the surface.

A lot of serving members are feeling depressed by the state of our force and actively looking for a way out.

hogwash
Do Canada a favour and move to the US.
A statement so dumb it drools.
