Re: CANADA

The Canadian Department of Defence needs to pull its finger out as the SH won't be in production too much longer, relatively. A few more for the USN/USMC, Australia and Kuwait.

If the U.K wants to add additional extras, it will.

The U.S cannot make demands of the UK exchequer but they could offer incentives to buy Yankee which would be favourable..?
