Excellent. I liked Hillier alot but always felt the Navy never really got enough attention.

The Army got new equipment, as did the Air Force.

The Navy? Not so much.

Let's get some new DDHs and refit those Halifaxes!

Natynczyk sounds like a very good leader. Not as outspoken as Hillier, but very articulate and understanding of the entire CF (probably based onthe fact that his kids are in all three services ).

Great, it's about time. Too many ships have been retired without replacements comming in.
My only regret is that it took a war for our gorv't to realize the sad shape our forces in general were in.
