A community for your defence shitposting needs
Rules
1. Be nice
Do not make personal attacks against each other, call for violence against anyone, or intentionally antagonize people in the comment sections.
2. Explain incorrect defense articles and takes
If you want to post a non-credible take, it must be from a "credible" source (news article, politician, or military leader) and must have a comment laying out exactly why it's non-credible. Low-hanging fruit such as random Twitter and YouTube comments belong in the Matrix chat.
3. Content must be relevant
Posts must be about military hardware or international security/defense. This is not the page to fawn over Youtube personalities, simp over political leaders, or discuss other areas of international policy.
4. No racism / hatespeech
No slurs. No advocating for the killing of people or insulting them based on physical, religious, or ideological traits.
5. No politics
We don't care if you're Republican, Democrat, Socialist, Stalinist, Baathist, or some other hot mess. Leave it at the door. This applies to comments as well.
6. No seriousposting
We don't want your uncut war footage, fundraisers, credible news articles, or other such things. The world is already serious enough as it is.
7. No classified material
Classified ‘western’ information is off limits regardless of how "open source" and "easy to find" it is.
8. Source artwork
If you use somebody's art in your post or as your post, the OP must provide a direct link to the art's source in the comment section, or a good reason why this was not possible (such as the artist deleting their account). The source should be a place that the artist themselves uploaded the art. A booru is not a source. A watermark is not a source.
9. No low-effort posts
No egregiously low effort posts. E.g. screenshots, recent reposts, simple reaction & template memes, and images with the punchline in the title. Put these in weekly Matrix chat instead.
10. Don't get us banned
No brigading or harassing other communities. Do not post memes with a "haha people that I hate died… haha" punchline or violating the sh.itjust.works rules (below). This includes content illegal in Canada.
11. No misinformation
NCD exists to make fun of misinformation, not to spread it. Make outlandish claims, but if your take doesn’t show signs of satire or exaggeration it will be removed. Misleading content may result in a ban. Regardless of source, don’t post obvious propaganda or fake news. Double-check facts and don't be an idiot.

It's aproaching dragon ball levels of power creep and we ain't talking Namek saga or Android saga we're in Buu saga.
I swear to fuck someone needs to make a HMS Dreadnought equivalent so we can clean up this nomenclature bullshit.
I think automation is gonna clean a lot of this right up.
we'll be left with drones, and drone carriers. maybe a few humies on the drone carriers to do whatever can't be outright automated on at sea. and there's really no good reason to be a surface ship if all you're schlepping is drones.
Radar is kinda hard for subs. Hence air and missile defense are kinda hard for subs.
Comms with your drones is also kinda hard underwater. In fact: if you need to surface to launch and control your drones, why bother being a sub?
Drones will just be another weapon stuffed onto surface ships. Expanding the ever growing arsenal of these ships.
yeah these limitations totally limit fire and forget munitions..... not at all.
a stealthy sub that just surfaced off your shore and released a hundred drone swarm doesn't need to stick around and wait for the fireworks.
