Jumping ahead a few decades...
Canada just spent $750 Million on 4 used British diesel submarines - can anyone tell me how this makes sense.
In my mind the submarine is an offensive weapon with very little defensive capability.
Does anyone really look upon Canada as an offensive power?
Can anyone picture a scenario where a Canadian submarine fires a torpedo or missile against anyone?
Would these subs have any kind of chance against their Russian, Chinese or Rogue nation counterparts?
We do a good job as peacekeepers - this purchase really baffles me.
