DND recently narrowed down the field of competitors to replace our Victoria Class submarines with at least 10 modern boats. The contenders are the KSS-III and the 212CD.

I like the KSS-III offering personally. It seems like a better overall package, including full tech transfer, ballistic launch capability, and a much faster timeline for delivery.

The 212CD, however, is a derivative of the 212A in service for 20+ years, it builds upon over a century of operational expertise. The 212CD is in service with the German and Norwegian navy and is a proven and reliable system.

Which submarine will best serve our needs?

Here's a simple overview of the two:
