1/700 HMCS Warrior? We are going to 'crowdfund' this variant like we did with CVA-01. We would need at least 300 units preordered to make the extra tooling, new box art, etc. for this kit. DIRECT ONLY so the price can remain the same ($64.95). Let us know if you are interested!

Today in 1943, the German battleship Scharnhorst is sunk by the RN off the coast of Norway, during the Battle of North Cape. Canadians served in a number of His Majesty's Ships during the action. HMCS Huron, Haida, and Iroquois, were escorts for Scharnhorst's bait: convoy JW 55B.
1/2 HMCS Fredericton continues to sail towards Trondheim, Norway, under its own propulsion and power and is expected to arrive later this evening. Once alongside, a complete assessment of the damage will be made, and a repair plan will be developed and implemented as required.

加拿大皇家海軍護衛艦「HMCS Winnipeg FFH338」10月2日晚由南向北通過台海,今天上午10時許離開台灣海峽進入東海。
#OnThisDay 1911, King George V granted Royal ascent for the Naval Service of Canada (created the previous year) to be known as the Royal Canadian Navy with all warships prefixed with HMCS from this point. The @RoyalCanNavy has strong ties with @RoyalNavy to this day.
HMCS Haida (G63)
Haida's concept/ design (final or not) was done way before Athabaskan's but the design kept changing. A lot of the design is referenced from photos I took when I visited the museum ship a few years ago.
HMCS Athabaskan (G07)
There are some design notes and rationales to some of these designs, so I'll do my best to share my thought process going off my limited memory of leaving these alone for so long.

Today in 1942, HMCS Oakville, a #RCNavy Flower-class corvette, attacked German sub U-94 with depth charges, guns, and ramming, off the Haitian coast. A boarding party led by SLt Hal Lawrence subdued the crew and rescued survivors before the boat succumbed to her damage, and sunk.
The HMCS Protector 🙌😍 This former naval vessel now serves as a breakwater here at #HeronIsland and is home to an incredible array of marine life!
