Totally unrealistic. Never in the history of the RCN has a zodiac outboard started with a single pull. But seriously, great job, great video. Awesome to see an up-to-date, high quality overview of some of the NWO training pipeline. Great memories on those boats.
Great video. To everyone dumping on the Orca class training vessel. They are just that a training vessel for navigation and basic ship handling skills. If they were ever needed to be armed it would be a 50 cal machine gun(s) for costal interdiction purposes.
@@abrahamdozer6273 It's similar to the Canadian Coast Guard's Hero-class patrol vessel and the US Coast Guard's Sentinel-class cutter. It would give the Canadian Navy a coastal Patrol boat capability with arms.
To the Royal Canadian Navy. Please kindly return our vessels back to us and get yourself a properly armed, modern, sophisticated vessel. Signed…Canadian Coastguard
@@fumblerooskie Yeah I’m working on it. Highlighting the negative side of things is kind of my bad habit. You know what they say about bad habits, they don’t go away easily🙃
Stop it. Our armed forces are not even adequate to stop arctic fishing, let alone a territorial war. Stop this rah, rah, tom cruise stuff. Young men & women will loose their lives if push comes to shove
@@mcallahan9060Dude. It's capable of mounting an M2 Browning .50 BMG in the front. They did so for Vancouver Olympics 2010. Dude. Canada's very pathetic littoral fleet of 22 vessels: four 25 mil pop guns and a handful of WW2 machine guns. Unlike America, our coast guard is unarmed. They are navy recruits, not boy scouts, they should be exposed to crew served weapons in dude training. Even if it's the very last lesson before they move on.
@@Joe3pops Trust me, I share a lot of your criticisms of the Canadian Navies lack of credible military power. In this case though, this is not a Navy ship at all, and thus cannot be armed. Its purpose is to train recruits in basic seamanship and navigation. Thats it. Yes, it has hard points to mount a 12.7mm (.50 BMG) and two were converted for the event you mentioned. But you can be assured when those weapons were mounted the crew was a fully trained naval crew and not recruits. I'm sure that there are other ships or stations that heavy weapons training does get done, but this ship is not that.
you are very uninformed on this bud. Sure, our fleet is too small for the demands placed on it. You are not the first genius to make this observation. Our frigates are quite well armed with 57 mm cannons, missiles, torpedoes, CIWS, and of course, our old 50s. This Orca class vessel is only used for navigational and seamanship training.

Got bless all of you my son just joined Canadian Navy❤
The guy at 2:00 is my dad!
The nation thanks him for his service.
What’s his last name!? I think I met him on a sail a while ago
I really like the videos. The navy is doing a great job with great people.

I thought for a second that he started it before it was in the water.
🤣 The magic of editing! A video can get stale after the 4 or 5th pull!
I caught that too! Ha ha...
Fantastic job, need more of these for sure
Nice to see ya back Steph!

Great stuff 🍁🍁🍁
Great videos
I'm so old I remember Gate Vessels.

What Canada should have gotten is the FRC aka the Sentinel class cutter that the USCG has and they can use it for Coastal Patrol
Why should Canada have "gotten" those to train the Naval Reserves?

@@NickyKDChaleunphone That's what the AOPVs are supposed to do.
@@abrahamdozer6273plus This is . . . Canada. We kinda don’t really have hot coasts that would need such heavy patrol boats.
@@abrahamdozer6273 the AOPV is designed for the Arctic region and not for the coastal regions. What they need is designed for the coastal regions.
🎉,👏👏👏

Do you ever have anything positive to say?
You arent even a branch
And they are building new vessels

Ohhh c’mon there’s nothing negative about my comment
It’s a training vessel, 50 cal. capable too

Good luck passing gunnery school with pretend heavy machine gun.
Might as well be Canadian coast guard. Disappointing.
Dude, it's an unarmed training vessel. It's not a warship.

What's the difference recruits versus trained crew? A period of informed instruction. Mostly, we agree with each other. Be well
