on the merchant side vessels have safe manning certificates. these are documents approved by class that indicate the number of crew of each rank that have to be signed onto the vessel for it to be operated legally under flag rules. you might have more people as crew, but never less.

Bar Ran Dun posted:ships are just dangerous and godawful to be on too. and mariners take years to educate. 3rd officers are basically a four year degree, 2nds, Chief Officers, and Captains are years and years of experience on top of that (and same for the engineering side). watching standing is a 24-7 thing that qualified people are needed for. merchant ships are old school regulated. navies are similar in need for training. Manning is mostly the watchstanding crew. the ones that are hard to make and expensive. Thoguh posted:Because it was doing sea trials and they were probably there in case something went wrong. I assume they wouldn't be there when it's actually operational. dunno. I’d want people onboard a real unmanned ship. I mean this Chinese vessel is a boat though lol, 100 ton is like you reading this can go get that capt. license after learning the rules of the road. edit : this is like a automated cost guard cutter

Admittedly, an 4000-5000 ton arsenal ship that is pretty much just radar/aa/VLS cells would be a pretty mean prospect.

at the outbreak of hostilities america had the most advanced air superiority fighter on the planet, the nearly invincible f-22 unfortunately for america, only 30 of them were combat-ready at the time, and all of them were on the wrong continent

Bar Ran Dun posted:100 tons would be either GT or NT there a volume not carrying capacity or displacement. According to global times it's a 200 ton displacement but I'm sceptical. https://www.globaltimes.cn/page/202206/1267719.shtml The Sea Hunter, the American ship it's a copy of, has a loaded displacement of 145 tons. For comparison, a type 22 missile boat has a loaded displacement of 220 tons and carries 8 anti ship missiles.

Pryor on Fire posted:They have tried different types of steel and carbide penetrator bullets on 5.56, but at the end of the day it's a pretty tiny bullet and loses energy quickly at range. The length of the bullet is also a limiter for penetration. Bigger bullets and the higher pressures mean the .277 has almost three times the muzzle energy. They're assuming American infantry are going to be going up against Chinese terminator robots in the next dust up, can't rely on 5.56 when your target is a big dog

I was in posting jail when the US service rifle chat happened, but here’s Canada’s The new service rifle for Canada comes with a suppressor on every rifle issued, has a hollow void rail system, and is also issued with a vertical and angle foregrip, per rifle. Not only is the unit cost absolutely batshit insane (and classified), but from talking to the Colt Canada engineers, lol it can only be disassembled and serviced by an armourer beyond the most basic cleaning, the suppressor requires proprietary cleaning fluid and will become clogged with CLP, it can’t mount a bayonet or BFA and it weighs about as much as an AK-47.

The sales guy said part of their pitch for why every rifle needs a suppressor is that it will reduce hearing loss claims, which is the funniest possible way they got a bunch of generals and bureaucrats to spend an extra $500-1000 per rifle.
