"Only One Submarine In Canada’s Costly Naval Fleet Has Been To Sea In Years: Records"

From https://blazingcatfur.ca

"Only one of the vessels in Canada’s expensive submarine fleet has been to sea in recent years. Submarine maintenance and upgrade costs have surpassed $3 billion, records show."

CANADA THREE-OCEAN NATION.

"An inquiry tabled in the Commons revealed the Royal Canadian Navy stated that only one vessel, HMCS Windsor, has been at sea since Dec. 1, 2021, as first reported by Blacklock’s Reporter. The submarine was at sea for 43 days last year."

From the wiki: "HMCS Windsor is a long-range hunter-killer (SSK) submarine of the Royal Canadian Navy, the second submarine of the Victoria class. She is named after the city of Windsor, Ontario. Built for the Royal Navy as the Upholder-class submarine HMS Unicorn (pennant number S43) she was purchased by Canada"

British-built and somewhat aged Upholder class diesel-electric boat refurbished and retrofitted for Canadian navy. Four boats total, I had thought it was six! ONLY one service-able? Record poor at best. Hardly high-tempo operations.

As was already noted, what the Canadian navy needs is the latest and greatest brand-spanking new Italian designed and made S800 underwater boat!
