Naval Today

Quote:
Canada should acquire 12 new submarines, senate report says
The current fleet of four Victoria-class submarines is inadequate to provide an effective presence in three oceans and a much larger fleet is required, report says.

The Canadian Navy should acquire 12 new submarines with air independent propulsion, members of the Canadian standing senate defense committee recommended in their report released on Monday.

Titled ‘Reinvesting in the Canadian Armed Forces: A plan for the future’, the report suggests that the defense spending increase to 2% of the GDP in the next eleven years should be used to acquire the submarines, among other high-value items.

(...SNIPPED)

For those unfamiliar, Canada's Senate is generally characterized as the "sober second thought" for the bills that Parliament puts forth. In this case, however, "drunk second ramblings" may be more accurate: "one does not simply" double the country's defence spending in a time of general peace.
