After a brief rethink do a the huge logical nightmare of servicing a massive amount of USVs along with the Frigates controlling them. The RCN decided to scale it back operations to having only one ship in each Navy squadron to control the 2 USV. This will allow the fleet oilier to better manage them.

A practice run of the UAV program is planned this labour day long weekend at CFB Prince Rupert, using the two prototype Waterfowl class USVs named HMCS USV-1 and HMCS USV-2, being directly remote controlled by the R/C crew onboard HMCS Calgray, for training purposes. only until the Type 92s comes online. And might take these out for a excercise if the ROD is doing another training run with their drones, to get some experience on how to use these new type of vessels in a naval operation. though differences in drone operation could cause problems, but im sure we will work something out.

CFB Prince Rupert
HMCS Calgray left her port of Prince Rupert this morning to begin trial runs of the RCNs USV program to see if the new remote control scheme will work following behind the Frigate are the two prototype USV ships HMCS USV-1 and HMCS USV-2 Operated by the 8 man R/C crew onboard. the trial is expected to last throughout the labour day long weekend and if its successful, this revised remote control scheme will be implemented into the new Type 92 Unmanned ASW Sloops once they come online.

Day 1 of the USV tests has been concluded so far all remote control systems checks out on the USVs. they are currently pulled up next to HMCS Calgray, so the R/C techs and engineers can inspect the equipment and engines, before the tests can continue. For today's test the USVs will be equipped with a single machine gun to shoot at floating buoys for target training, and to practice coordinating target tracking and fire data between the Calgary's CIC, and the USV's Weapons operator onboard.

Day 2 of the RCNs USV program was a sucess, with the R/C crews onboard HMCS Calgray blasting away at the target buoys in perfect coordinated fire with the Frigates CIC. with the off shore tests completed. the final day will happen back at base. where RCN staff will go over the data from these past two days with the bureaucrats from the Project Evaluation Committee. To determine the viability of this renewed USV program. The only major obstacle in the way is to come up with a naval doctrine and tactics that will best utilize the Future Type 92 ASW Drones, as this is the first Time NC has used such units in a fleet. we will have to hire someone with experience to teach us how. HMCS USV-1 and USV-2 will be placed in a USV training unit at Prince Rupert. to train new R/C crews on their operation.
