Alright this is going to have to be said in this thread to make it an offical CDN Military thread... You have been warned.
"WE HAVE SUBS???"

Yup 4 upholder subs renamed Victoria classed to replace our 60's status oberon subs.
They have some good features. They're basically a SSN (nuc boat) in frame and technology that uses a diesel electric engine and batteries for power which demands snorkling.

Sounds like a slight upgrade on a German U-Boat. [/b][/quote]
which U-boats are you talking about the WW II concept or thier more modern ventures. The Upholder was a radical departure from most modern diesel subs due to it tear dropped dynamic shape which gives it better speed, and better noise reduction. As oppossed to most diesel subs which still have a boat shaped blunt hull that hurts its speed and quieting. However diesel subs are not made to be especially fast. they are made to be very quiet. Which they are.
