The Royal Canadian Navy is calling this damage its version of a fender bender. I wonder what the sailors that were on HMCS Corner Brook call it.

I think she's cooked, dude ! I suspect they probably save some parts for spares but officially announce that she will be scrapped.
So f-ing stupid. The whole f-ing affair.

Yeah - but I'd expecta comment like that from a person who lives in the Pictou/New Glasgow area.
OK... your first mistake was actually relying on CBC for a defence story.... your second mistake was waiting to hear what the response was from the DND.
I thought this was good for a hoot ! The fleet status on our subs....
