Latest reports showing CHINA HAS JUST SEIZED A US VESSEL

No, Kathleen Wynne has been great.

Most people are just dumb and think of only their pocketbook.

Seig Heil!

BTW, why did that Chinese ship have the right cradle to lower the torpedo onto. Perhaos they should try the torpeded that goes 200mph underwater next time.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VA-111_Shkval
The VA-111 is launched from 533 mm torpedo tubes at 50 knots (93 km/h) before its solid-fuel rocket ignites and propels it to speeds of 200 knots (370 km/h). Some reports indicate that speeds of 250+ knots may be achieved, and that work on a 300-knot (560 km/h) version was underway.[3] This high speed is due to supercavitation, whereby a gas bubble, which envelops the torpedo, is created by outward deflection of water by its specially-shaped nose cone and the expansion of gases from its engine. This minimizes water contact with the torpedo, significantly reducing drag.[2]

When a sub loses it's nose it probably means they were trying to 'upsize' and it went 'boom' instead.

A destroyer would have the ability to recover practice torpedos. You could probably do it with a boat davit and webbing straps.

Yes, like you and your Dipper friends in Edmonton who place dollars over a life saving program like HALO.

I would never have any friends from Alberta.

We know you adore Rachel. You can't deny it with any level of credibility

Speaking of Rachel, I hope Santa brings her some hair clips for Christmas. She's going to get a crick in her neck from flipping the hair out of her eyes. Or get an eye infection. :_)

Who doesn't adore Rachel?

That said, she's not my friend.

We're no better off in Ontario with Wynne!

I don't and she is

You gubmint worker?

 

[Cannuck]

You gubmint worker?

I don't know what "gubmint worker" is

They work at the mint stamping Gubloons.

 

[petros]

Did China hack it yet and when can I buy a cheap copy of one on Taobao?

It's still back to the drawing board' for that model.

For what? .. a model of destroyer that can recover it's own practise torpedoes?

Oh look! There's one! https://www.junobeach.org/canada-in-wwii/articles/the-ships/destroyers/

The drone for getting captured in the first place.
