A UN patrol cruiser. Basically a pirate boat.

Some 6-Commando ships, the top is a landing assault ship that can give our destroyer-weights a hard time and the bottom is an autonomous SSBN.

Naah, the Sri Lankans have a few large(2,500-3,500 T range) OPVs. That's just the welcoming committee for a Russian ship.

An idea for using old carriers as rocket launching platforms

If I recall Kerbals the closer to the equator the easier it is to get into orbit so these ships would park on the line and in theory make for efficient platforms. Though I suppose the increasing size of rockets in the 60s made it less attractive.

maybe the helicopter is towing it? :p

Bad bit of luck for Canada, if they had just bought them straight away it may not have had so many problems. Dithering for years while they rusted in mothballs likely didn't help much

Raytheon just released its 2021 Ships of the US Navy Poster available for download.

The link in their tweet of course led to a different article entirely but... I'm sure that was just a hiccup. Hopefully they don't have similar oversights in the Hypersonic Missile Defense Department.

I like that they still put Constitution on there.

Man, that would be the ultimate insult to China; take Conny, give her a full work over, and take her out for an actual FONOP under Burke escort, and sail her up past the 12km line on a few of the CCP's sand castles.
