[A Formerly Proud Canadian]

Maybe with the fire sale on Spainish assets, we can get that supply ship we borrowed from Spain for 1,000 gallons of maple syrup. For a thousand more, the RCN may also be able to get the Príncipe de Asturias. The RCHMDN (Royal Canadian Hand Me Down Navy)!

You know, taking de Asturias might not be a bad idea for the Canucks.

They get an excellent little helo carrier that was built from the USN’s 1970’s Sea Control Ship plans and has a lot of commonality with the USN’s Ticonderoga-class Cruisers (which used the same hull and machinery as the Spruance class destroyers).
