Shipbucket

Remember folks, Canada and Australia do not have the bottomless pockets that the US has. I wouldn't be too surprised if the existing 3 Hobarts get downsized to just 2 units. I have heard grumblings within the RAN that 3 Hobarts are overkill anyway.

Personally I wish they exercise the four ship option instead of the two/ three ship option as two doesn't leave much in a margin of logistical capability

There's no such thing as "nothing left to draw" If you can down 10 pints and draw, you're doing alright by my standards

The logic for having 3 Hobarts (like the old Brisbane Class) was to have two always operationally ready and the other either in maintenance period/refit/operational training.

Ideally the Canadians should look abroad for their DDG but there will always be that homegrown sentiment

Yes, Three makes sense and its is our way of doing things but seeing the usual problem with these sort of things, four might ensure that two are always operationally ready

I was reffering to Cabada but I suppose you're right.

The U.S. doesn't even have the bottomless pockets the U.S. has. But it sure has a bottomless supply of whiners from all sides complaining why their special pet project (defense-related or otherwise) isn't getting any spending priority compared to someone else's special pet project.
