Happy Monday Everyone!
We are light this week. After a few big newsletters, I am blessed with everyone keeping quiet. Submarines, Icebreaker Charters, NATO. Mr. Carner gives his strongest boy his biggest battles. I am exhausted, and so we're keeping this week simple less we all see a grown man cry.

• There is expected to be at least one major announcement at NATO, near or equal to Submarines in some eyes. NATO itself is already looking like a Canadian win, going in with Submarines, a likely Globaleye win, and the first tranche of DSRB members. None of these are that, allegedly.
• It seems very likely, though we can't fully confirm timelines, that LUV is being pushed up to at least the late 2027 timeline.
• Coming out of TKMS downselection, expect at least one related announcement during NATO from Industry
