Thanks very much for the kind words! It's super cool that you work in the Cormorant program. It's an impressive aircraft and will be even better once the CMLU comes to fruition! 🙂 I really appreciate you watching and hope you subscribe to the channel 🙂

Old time thinking I guess. I mean they are meant to be coastal defence vessels so they weren't intended to do offshore work, but that was myopic thinking in my view. I believe that any ships that Canada builds to replace the Kingston Class should have open ocean sea keeping ability AND a robust combat system that can deliver some punch.

I am truly grateful for your comment and for your kind words of support. It means more than you know! I'm so glad that you are able to learn more about the Navy, the Canadian Armed Forces, and Allied Forces through this channel 🙂Please help spread the word so others know about it -- it genuinely helps! I hope you will enjoy the next video in the series which is coming soon -- and all of the videos we will be posting -- there's great stuff ahead! Most of all, thank you for your support and encouragement for me to continue to bring you great content and insight from the men and women who serve in uniform. Go Bold my friend! 🙂

Thank you for the wonderful comment! These videos are a ton of work and take a lot of time to put together so it really means a lot when people watch and enjoy. Your kind words are genuinely appreciated, and I echo your sentiments about the men and women who serve in the Navy. Please stay tuned for more... I think you'll really like our next video in the series! It's coming soon! 🙂

I echo that, and I thank you so much for watching. I hope you will check out our other videos, and find them interesting and informative 🙂

Really glad you enjoyed the video, and thanks for the wonderful comment! We have more videos ahead, so please stay tuned! 🙂

Thanks so much! The Lieutenant made it easy. I hope you'll enjoy our next episode which is coming soon!

Thank you so much for watching, and for the great feedback! My goal is to inform, so I'm thankful for your comment. Stay tuned for more! 🙂

Thank you very much for the kind comment and for watching! I'm doing my best, and there is more to come! Episode 6 will be an awesome look at a Combat Support Ship!

I like the paint scheme too! I hope you saw the full video and enjoyed that too? 🙂

I totally agree! He was professional, knowledgeable and enthusiastic -- all great qualities!

That would be one way for sure, but there are various ways to defeat such threats - kinetic and otherwise.

Thank you for your comment and perspective, and I agree, he's great!

No, you have to think of a ship as a living entity. It requires upkeep (even new), and in this case, they were also doing some testing and some minor modifications to enable it to so Ship Without Air Detachment work. You can hear all about this on Episode 76 of the Go Bold podcast. Here is a link: podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/go-bold-76-commodore-david-mazur-on-optimizing-hmcs/id1611112099?i=1000669066680

It is, indeed.

Thank you! I really appreciate you watching and glad you enjoyed. We have more coming!

Significant on both sides, and the whole process to develop these videos takes months, literally.

Thank you so much for the lovely comment! 🙂 I really appreciate you watching and hope you enjoy all the videos we have. Rest assured, there are more to come! 🙂

I couldn't agree more. He is approachable, knowledgeable, professional, easy-going and kind -- all qualities I like in a leader. I'm glad you got to serve with him. I have a few more videos from HMCS WINNIPEG coming soon so I hope you'll subscribe so you don't miss them! 🙂

Thank you so much for the lovely comment, it means a lot! I'm glad you enjoyed this episode, and I hope you will subscribe (in case you haven't) because there's a lot more to come! 🙂 Go Bold!

Love it!! 🙂👍

I am in total agreement with you!

They should emplace the 25 mil. Add two MANPADS as well. Keep these vessels. Twelve is a littoral fleet of defense value.

Good question! No missiles of any type, and no dedicated counter-UAS capability either.

@@goboldwithjoeteyattariwala All the militaries of the world better get with the new program - to ignore what is happening in Ukraine and pretend they will not have to face a swarm of drones approaching from all angles is silly. There may not be a 100% to that threat yet, but at least try to address the problem.

@@Kr0N05 They are definitely aware and are exploring ways to mitigate such threats. Not to do so would be tantamount to Navy malpractice.

try paying attention

I echo your sentiments wholeheartedly! It's astonishing that that capability hasn't been implemented prior to the mid-life upgrade. I have always commented how a news helicopter has has more sensor capability than the RCAF's SAR helicopters. A sad statement if there ever was one -- but I also appreciate that a news organization is private and more nimble than a government entity. In the end, it's all about priorities and funding. It's unfortunate that a lot of the population is not aware of such issues, or is apathetic and maybe ignorant of the archaic procurement system that exists, which I'll argue needs a total overhaul. It takes will, and the sad reality is people on all sides of the political isle talk about it but do little.

@@goboldwithjoeteyattariwala Agreed, I mean of all the kit I would assume is onboard any SAR AC it's FLIR. The CP-140 has it, maybe that AC should be involved in coastal SAR. I think it is disrespectful of our highly skilled SAR members to send them out without this basic tool and obviously very wasteful WRT hours spent in searches where the FLIR could quickly locate missing individuals especially at night and over highly treed areas, just sad really.

@@johnf6545 I agree with you, John. It's a basic sensor capability that should be standard kit today. Thankfully this issue is in soon to be in the rear-view mirror as the Cormorant is getting it, and the Kingfisher (and CP-140 Aurora, and CH-148 Cyclone) have it. The Aurora and Cyclone have a different mission set as I'm sure you know, but do have secondary SAR functions. Sadly the SAR Griffon fleet does not have an EO/IR sensor, but the type has fielded it as you correctly mentioned. I think the issue there is a trade off in terms of weight as SAR Techs need to deploy with a considerable amount of equipment. Have you seen this video on the channel... it shows just how much SAR Techs carry, and how they do triage. Let me know what you think 🙂 th-cam.com/video/G_1H0WHN93U/w-d-xo.htmlfeature=shared

@@goboldwithjoeteyattariwala Hey Joety, nice vid on the SAREX, I bet those folks are really looking fwd to the upgrade. Would have been nice to see how the searches went onboard the different AC to get a feel for how many passes were required on the different platforms to get a positive identification. Keep up the great work, really enjoying the videos!

@@johnf6545 Thank you as always for the very kind words -- will always do my best! I'm glad you enjoyed the video(s) and I agree, I would have loved to be on all those AC to get that perspective, but alas it is hard to get on them when they are working these exercises. I'm not sure if you saw this video, but it is part of my SAREX series, and it's a slightly different perspective being a fixed-wing aircraft (CC-130J) -- and this one I got on! 🙂I hope you like it! th-cam.com/video/JnwRNKFRZJQ/w-d-xo.htmlfeature=shared

I'm glad you had a chance to see inside. I am always amazed at the complexity. The living spaces are something for sure! lol You may find interesting a podcast chat I did with the Commander of the Canadian Submarine Force, where he shares some of his experiences of being a submariner. It's a cool chat which you can find at the following link: podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/go-bold-71-captain-alex-kooiman-commander-of/id1611112099?i=1000664526229

A definite possibility! In fact, there is a AOPS UAV project underway, so I'll try to highlight that as it comes to fruition.

@goboldwithjoeteyattariwala that's so cool, thanks for being such an informative source for Canadians like myself who love to stay informed on our navy

@@alistairhowes9805 Thanks for the kind words. I believe we should all be well informed, so I'll always do my best to share. I really appreciate you watching, and I appreciate your support 🙂

Thank you so much! I'm happy you are enjoying the channel. Please spread the word. We have more to come! 🙂

I love that you are watching this in England! Thank you for watching and for the kind words. I hope you will enjoy all the videos we produce -- there are more to come! 🙂

They are indeed Canadian waters. And yes, it's a class that has a lot of inherent capability. Wait until you see the next episode for another ship with amazing capability! 🙂

These vessels are modelled on the Norwegian Coast Guard ship NoCGV Svalbard

Thank you for watching, and yes, modularity is key to the future! With that said, you need a robust backbone architecture so you can add capability -- I'm glad these ships appear to have that.

Very normal for ships. It's a harsh operating environment.

Too bad, you gave up too soon, coastal preference comes with qualifications and time in, chances are 50/50 you would go to Victoria after Basic Training and Qualifications at sea. By the time you complete your initial contract and sign on for the long haul the chances of having your coastal preference are 95/5. I don't remember anyone in my 36 years of not getting their preferred coast. By now you would have been promoted to Leading Sailor along with a good pay raise, your Master's would be just couple years away and a Shore Posting in the works. It requires a bit of sacrifice to serve but the rewards ( and a 70% pension) last a life time. There is still time, think about it. Sayeth the Chief!

not well thought out the experience would have done so much for you

Ships are one part of it, crewing those ships is just as important and not instant.

@@annoyed707 So true!

Very good points!

Thank you so much! We are doing our best, and have much more to come! 🙂

I'm thankful the video is able to give you a better appreciation for the ships. That's one of my goals, so I'm happy you enjoyed!

Thanks so much! I really appreciate the kind words and the support! It means more than you know! 🙏🙂

Thank you for the wonderful comment, and thank you for watching! There is more ahead! 🙂
