That was why one of my university papers argued that Canada needed to pursue deep diving nuclear submarines with effective anti-ship capabilities.
When the U.S. started moving forward with their SeaWolf and later Virginia class submaries I thought that Canada would be best served by picking up some of the surplus 688 and 688i submarines.
while the Victoria Class Submarines that we got from Britian for a song are capable submarines (when they don't have electrical fires, or bad pumps) they lack in range and arctic capabilities.
