USS Little Rock stuck in Montreal.

It's a brand new ship as well, right out of the builder and trials on the Great Lakes. But she'll be able to get out in a short while so it's not really that bad for the crew.

Fun fact: That class of ship has a semi-displacement hull, so they can reach speeds over 45kt with almost 100 000hp. Probably burns about 22500 l/hour or 0.009 mpg

Holy shit 100,000 HP wtf sort of engine does it have? It doesn't seem to be that large.
 
Ce navire est plus gros en personne. Je l'ai spotté lundi en passant sur Notre-Dame. C'est assez impressionnant.

In before que les USA trouve un moyen de nous mettre ça sur le dos.


" Look how Canada do nothing for us, Let's freeze our new ship in there. Cost money to USA. Whats now with nafta? #usa #canadafuckedwithnafta #wearebetter "
 
they should gtfo immediatly...... because Valerie Plante will put a tax on the fact that they are stock in Montreal
 
Exact 2 turbines au diesel.
Les turbines tournent autour de 10000rpm mais la "power section" environ 3500. Les props tournent dans l'eau autour de 200rpm.

Les power curves sur les navires sont assez folles. Sur les frégates canadiennes, y faut 9000hp pour aller à 12kt, 25000 pour 26kt, et 43000 pour 30 environ.
 
Ah I was wondering what that ship was doing here when I drove by on Pierre-Dupuy the other day. Went for a few midnight slow laps around Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve and saw it lol
