Ah yes, I thats what I thought you meant. The rolling airframe missile does look pretty neat, do you have any experience with it?

Ok then, getting back to the topic at hand... I think the consensus seems to be that Phalanx is better for the Canadian Navy in the sense that it is better suited to our needs, if I have interpreted the last few posts correctly.

That sounds fair to me. I bow before superior knowledge.

My mistake, I apologise.

Although Rotax does make snowmobile engines, the engine used in the Heron is a Rotax engine specifically designed for aviation purposes, and it is very common in light aircraft and other UAV's.

That being the case, to answer Mavericks question, you are saying that the Phalanx is better?

Definitely coming together, keep up the good work!

I know I am new here, but I was simply offering an opinion which I freely admitted was based solely on what I have a working knowledge of, which is engineering. I am sure there are other factors to this discussion, but I did not discuss them, as I have no experience with them, which I initially...

From a technical perspective, there aren't any meaningful differences between the two of them: similar range, rate of fire, ammunition capacity and size/weight. The main difference is in the mounting, Phalanx can be added onto just about any existing ship, as it only requires electricity and...

Yes, that is exactly the kind of thing I am talking about, just things that will make it more, enjoyable, I suppose. I should mention that I am not trying to ruin the fun of it, I just like being as prepared as possible in general.

Hey guys, I wasn't quite sure what section to post this in, but I think Basic Training would be more appropriate. Also forgive me if this has been posted before, but a search didn't really turn up what I was looking for. On to the main point then: after talking to some of my friends who are in...

That project has been cancelled due to the difficulties of navalizing the gun, ie weather proofing, recoil dissipation, etc. They have since made a deal with Finmeccanica for delivery of Otobreda 127 mm Volcano main guns for the F125 class of frigates, while the preceding F124 class will remain...

It would be nice if this season had some people doing officer training, but seeing as it says 13 weeks I don't think they will. Anyone know how much similarity there is between BMQ and BOTP?

The only reason why long term projects like that are so difficult is that they are beyond the terms of service of the politicians. If there was only one party in power continuously for, say, twenty years or more, it would be a lot easier to reach long terms goals such as that. As it stands now...

Totally agree, war is started by politicians, not by soldiers.

I agree with Hotspur, I don't really see the point of that article. If violence is bad, what are we to do? Just disband all military forces and hope everyone plays nicely together?? It sure would be nice if thats the way the world worked, but unfortunately it isn't. Freedom isn't free.

ComdCFRG, thank you very much for your reply. I suppose there really isn't any reason for me to wait, I'm sure I will be doing lots of that later on anyways. Learning what I have from these boards the last couple weeks has been extremely helpful, and now that I have found the information that I...
