Just saw that the Czech's are ordering 2 more cargo 295's for themselves with delivery in 2020, so I'm presuming after that would be the likely period for any order from us? How well will the 235's perform out to that?

RFPs due for the Casa replacement on June 20th, so hopefully everyone's handed in their paperwork for exam 1, and are being scrutinised for exam 2. Regarding the C27J, saw this model/vaporware proposal on another website; the armament might be a bit more that being looked for in our programme, but shows it could be a possibility, if it's ro-ro systems suite is integrated correctly

The production line might be a bit quieter than the C295, but might make the aircraft a bit more possible as a contender than it was previously.

What we actually got is one for one replacements with three of the current fleet looking at retirement in the not to distant future, so if builds for the peacocks and Eithne are not signed off within a very short space of time, given build times we could actually be back to where we were in 1987/88.
Not to mention can we crew all these ships continually.Covid 19 is not over ....it's still very real..Hand Hygiene, Social Distancing and Masks.. keep safe

It remains to be seen if GBS will become a 9th vessel or if Ciara/Orla/Eithne will be retired before a CPV replacement or MRV goes to tender
Given the man power shortages we could lose ships very fast and not plan rebuilds until we have sufficent people to put the newer ones to sea.If we go down that route we could see a replacement for Eithne but never for the CPVs. Again I reckon with the CPVs that we could get a single OPV to replace the two. If anyships eed to be tied up because of manpower shortages it will be a huge game changer and will be used as an excuse to replace hulls one for one.

When was Setanta paid off? I have memories of her still cluttering up the basin after Eithne entered service. So she would have been in service in 1982, when the NS had CM10, CM11, CM12, P20, P21, P22, P23 and A15
Thats 8 to me.
Sorry for going off topic. I blame dev.For now, everything hangs on implementation of the CoDF report.

Just posting this for info - it's a preliminary evaluation of the CN235-300 with quite a lot of detail.
I know we're expecting the C295M, but there's a lot of crossover between the two including: the vehicles that could possibly fit, potential countermeasures systems/RWR, etc.
