Welldone Noah, could see the excitement from how quickly you took some of the shots and how happy you were to be there.
This bit caught my attention and was wondeidng if the arrival of the KS-III in Esquimalt has really put some heat on TKMS, and with only a month before the final bidder is picked, they're now ready to disclose value their platform can add beyond just an equipment sale.
"600,000 lifetime jobs that the company estimates would be created by a TKMS win in CPSP, over $80 billion in economic potential over the next 15 years".
Did you see any international militaries attend the show, I'd like to see coverage of maybe some countrys' military officials you were able to spot and maybe some things that were of interest to them at CANSEC too?
I am soooo dropping by after work today, just to see the outside exhibits!
I'm really interested in the Corvette models. Do you think you could write up a comparison of all the models you saw on display? I'm partial to Vard, but I would remove the twin 30mm if it meant installing a RAM launcher (but with up to 128 ESSMs, do you really need them?). The 23 knots top speed feels a little slow for me and I was hoping for a more stealthy design like the Saab model. And I thought that they wanted to keep the complement light, so 144 crew seems a bit excessive - how many are required to run the ship and how many berths are for embarked forces/trainees?
Logistiks, had I known they would be there, I would have shipped a bunch of broken Lanyards for Navy League and Sea Cadets for you to give them, they are junk.
Awesome report….though I am sure your poor feet are feeling it. So big thanks for the report for all of us who can’t go.

Must Be Quite A Show! Great Pics
Rheinmetall - No Leopard 1's with Skyranger 35's eh!
General Dynamic/BAE - No CV 90105 let alone CV 9035...
I don't suppose Bristol Aerospace or it's parent co Magellan Aerospace showed up with a CRV 7 Drone Killer? Multitube launcher system??
