Canada Adopts Diesel-Electric Submarines for Arctic Patrols
AI-Generated Summary
Canada plans to develop a fleet of diesel-electric submarines for Arctic patrols, focusing on capabilities for silent underwater operations while ensuring cost-effectiveness and strategic deterrent capabilities.
Canada's Arctic patrol submarines will be limited in their ability to surface through ice, requiring defence planners to operate from naval ports considerably distant from the northern waters. This distance is closer to Pearl Harbor than Tuktoyaktuk.
