Yeah, this hardly comes as a galloping shock.  The problems Canada's navy has had with their subs this past decade has been simply unreal.

"I like to think of it not as an excuse but more like Pavlovian Response." - Sir Slash

"At our ages, they all look like jailbait." - mirth

"If we had lines here that would have crossed all of them. For the 1,077,986th time." - Gusington

"Government is so expensive that it should at least be entertaining." - airboy

FFS just buy some new u boats and be done with it. 
Jarhead - Yeah. You're probably right.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.

Nah, that would break with the Canadian tradition of buying another nations surplus equipment, spending millions to fix it up, then pay to get rid of it a decade later.

Yeah, Star. And think about how good they're getting at fixing broken subs! That kind of talent doesn't grow on trees.
All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

I was actually surprised that we had sooooo many problems with those subs ... to be honest I thought the use of russian/ukrainian Ants for heavy lifting would present greater calamity
My doctor wrote me a prescription for daily sex.

My wife insists that it says dyslexia but what does she know.

I suspect we may replace them marine drones - there is a company in Alberta (go figure) that is really starting to get some serious press in military circles. Everytime I read a copy of Canadian Defence Review there is something on this company - wish I could remember the name!

Either that or we could just water-proof our old Lep C1's and drive them across the bottom of the ocean.  ;)

Them old bastards are pretty capable machines... snorkling would be a problem
