Trying to figure out which countries could actually handle the cost of light fleet carriers in 1946-60, so do we have any actual data at what prices the Colossus and Majestic class ships were sold by Britain in 1946-60? And for that matter how much their modernization with angled fight decks and...

Since the only Canadian submarine related thread is in the alternative history section (https://www.secretprojects.co.uk/threads/canadas-next-submarine.41251/#post-590211), I've decided to make a new dedicated thread for the actual, very real program.

Folks, Everyone knows Canada is in the early stages of replacing its surface fleet with a Type-26 derivative to be equipped with TLAM. It's purchasing 88 F-35s. Lot's of politics in their current defense procurement plans. How should it refresh its submarine force? Canada briefly flirted with...

I have heard mention recently that the MCDVs may be next up for replacing Now I have perhaps seen one or two mentions in the media of this but not much beyond that the Navy would like them to be capable of 25 knots. And that's about it . I don't suppose anyone else has come across anything...

Aircraft-Related Canadian 500-Series 'AN' Equipment Designations I've decided to post my compilation of Canadian numbers from the Army/Navy - and, later, Joint Electronics Type Designation Systems. I am not trying to list all equipment used by the RCAF, RCN, or Canadian Forces. Rather, I have...

Didn't really see a thread on this so here we go! I guess its not so popular because only Canada operates it.. but why they chose this instead of more Merlins is beyond me... 82% grounded due to cracks :eek...

Did Canada ever consider the A4 Skyhawk for its carrier aviation and Norway reinforcement role (instead of F5)? Would have been able to operate with USN/USMC.

OTL in 1963, the Royal Canadian Navy received their first Sikorsky CH-124 Sea King Helicopters. They flew from Canadian ships for more than 50 years. I greased and refuelled Sea Kings on the flight decks of HMCS Athabaskan and HMCS Iroquois. I also washed innumerable GE-T58-8F engines...

G'day all I'm looking for further information on the 1960 Kaman HU2K-1 ASW helicopter program for the Royal Canadian Navy. "The Treasury Board of the Canadian government gave its approval for the initial procurement of 12 rotorcraft from Kaman at a price of $14.5 million. However, the Canadian...

Re my MapleHawk enquiry, there was a website up till last year called CASR - Canadian American strategic think tank and it listed current and potential DnD RCAF. Canadian Army and Navy equipment. Couple of ideas came out such as debating what the Canadian Coast Guard were going to pic re the...

Looks like this Canadian project is now among the ranks of the walking dead. Pity. http://casr.ca/bg-navy-aops-icebreaker.htm http://casr.ca/as-arctic-sar-ships.htm http://www.materiel.forces.gc.ca/en/aops.page

A combined Anglo-Canadian study (RCN and Admiralty) into the use of hydrofoils for anti-submarine work and coastal patrol craft began post war. This resulted in the de Havilland Hydrofoil R-200. A prototype, HMCS Bras d'Or (FHE 400) was completed in 1968 and was tested until she was...

Hey Gang, Came accross the General Purpose Frigate project of the Royal Canadian Navy and thought I would post it here. This project was developed in the 1961-1963 period. The intention was to build 8 such ships which were intended as the name implies to be multi purpose frigates, but, also to...

I thought it might be time for a dedicated thread on the Upholder class subs in Canadian service. I'll start it off with this; Via HP&CA: Victoria submarine torpedo test fire marks milestone (The Vancouver Sun) The fire damaged HMCS Chicoutimi, one of the Canadian military's four submarines...

Hi, the Canadair CL-45 was ASW helicopter project,CL-52 was Boeing B-47B and CL-61 snow mobile project, what were the Canadair CL-65 (old design) and CL-212 ?.

I am at it again. Looking through some old books I found an artist's impression of a 1960 Canadian design for a frigate carrying a Tartar system aft. It was described as a Tribal class frigate, so presumably was an early design for the Iroquois ships. It is a smart looking ship and very...
