No more MBT’s for Canada

[Cyrien]

Complete (I think) listing of Canadian warships.

ok, thanks. we still need another destroyer and a cruiser or two.

The Soviets probably built the most state of the art stink boats, some were even boomers.

for the less military knowledgeable of us?

If you think about it, at the end of WWII Canada had over 300 naval vessels. Now, 58 years later, Canada only has about 32 navy ships.

I'm Canadian, and I think that's pretty sad. Granted, Canada has about one tenth the population of the US, and therefore can't support a huge navy. But still, a few larger ships couldn't hurt.

Boomers: Subs carrying Nukes/Powered by Nuke Reactors

Stink Boats: I think it means subs powered by Diesel/carrying conventional weapons, but I'm not sure.

Edit: I grammar do no know

But most of those were Corvettes; flimsy ships armed with a single gun, fodder for U-Boats.

Faster,lighter armoured vehicles don't do much good when sitting in a city street trying to pacify the population. I'm excited about these new vehicles but they absolutely do not replace a tank. I hope some countries out there at least keep a token force of heavy armour.

Maybe we can sell the Canadians our destroyed M-1 and Bradley FV's. I hear the Canadians can do wonders with Duct Tape.
