@MegaTmarshall Neglected my ass they gutted the forces there was a time where they to ration ammunition after selling off are destroyers, half the air force fleet and selling any thing valuable from the army
None of those ships (let alone the subs) look like they could fight their way out of a wet paper bag to me. The Brits saw us coming when we bought those crappy subs from them, too. I wouldn't buy my next car from the wreckers and expect it to work so why does our gov't go shopping for subs at a British garage sale???
@MegaTmarshall That's why you vote Conservative. Only a Liberal government would make a bad deal like that, only to make it look like they're doing something for the military.
@Pally3200 Yeah, you're right about how the Liberals generally neglect the needs of our military. IMO if Canada isn't going to go with nuclear subs, maybe they should take a look at the ultra-quiet & hi-tech diesel/electric submarines that the Germans are now using. If you don't know what I'm talking about, search on YouTube "the quietest submarine in the world" & watch the video. I have to admit that I was impressed...much better than what we got from the Brits!
@MegaTmarshall You should put that question to Jean Chretien. He's the bonehead who thought the used British subs were such a great deal. But then you can't expect much from a guy who couldn't figure out which way to wear a kevlar helmet.
@BaconTV123 The entire kingston class MCDV, or MM Kingston, whatever you call it, was built in Halifax Shipyards LTD in Halifax
Our navy needs more funding, and more ships. We need 2 LHD's, or two medium sized multipurpose carriers
We should go the medium carrier route, as it would be much more versatile, with the ability to launch F35's at sea, our navy would be one of the worlds most prestigous! We do however currently have very dedicated personel who are equipped with the best we have.
@mattmatt115 well equipped? no man, the attrition in the navy is pretty bad, more people are leaving then being recruited, our 4th destroyer was lay to rest cause we could not crew it. 40 year old resupply ships, the other 3 destroyers are aging, the 12 frigates are finally being upgraded, with no plans in site for replacement but i have read that were only going to go with 12 warships in the future, 12????15 is even hardly enough to cover Canada, never mind having enough for escorting LHD's
With this new ship building deal, we can build ourselfs those shiny new sail-boat thingies!

@mattmatt115 no one is going to join a substandard navy, when Canada got them Leo 2's, the armored corps had a shit load of recruits.
