ROKS Dosan Ahn Changho and HMCS Corner Brook Leaving Esquimalt to go and exercise together.
I hope they brought the TKMS model of the 212CD as that is as close to sailing as the 212CD is.
This ability of RCN to exercise w/ KSSlll is beyond massive, sadly won't inform purchase

A striking first-hand look from True North Strategic Review inside Hanwha Ocean’s Geoje shipyard — where scale, automation, skilled trades training and 24/7 production show what advanced shipbuilding can look like.

This is a bigger deal than most will think.. Hanwha is generations ahead of Canadian yards in this.
It's massive

Hanwha Ocean and Novarc Technologies have signed an MoU to explore welding automation and AI-driven manufacturing for next-generation shipbuilding.

Ever notice that NOBODY has a problem calling it the Boer War when neither Canada nor UK declared war, yet for Gulf War and Afghanistan War they all wiggle like a fish on a war to avoid it?
Weird eh?
The South African War (1899 – 1902), or the Boer War, as it is sometimes also called, marked the first time Canada dispatched troops to an overseas war.
“Of the Canadians who served in South Africa, 267 were killed and are listed in the Books of Remembrance. The Canadian government claimed at the time that this overseas expedition was not a precedent. History would prove otherwise. The new century would see Canadians serve in two world wars, the Korean War, and dozens of peacekeeping missions.”

If you are a veteran and client of VAC, your data is NOT safe. They are also busy spinning it.

Just playing with solidworks flow dynamics, Claude and chatgpt AI's and what I can see/guess/assume (so this ain't perfect) from public avail sources.
That diamond hull on the 212CD is great for stealth in shallow getting pinged, not great at all when folks are listening passive

The 212 diamond is a bit exaggerated for this quick graphic on purpose to help show the concepts involved.
It ain't perfect, and LOTS of assume, but flow I know.. here is a poppet for a second stage I designed.. all around flow

A brief thread with links to picture of my poppet design, simple, but effective. Flow type matters, not just qty of flow

Let's be blunt.. as blunt as you can be.
If a company has to make that promise, they can't do it. They can do a rob Peter to pay Paul and still come up short of the promised.. we (Canada) have LOTS of experience with that in CAF. This is no mystery

In order to meet a pledge by TKMS to deliver four Type 212CD to Canada by 2036, Germany and Norway agree to delay acquisition of one submarine each, passing up build slots to Ottawa. The two navies have a combined twelve boats on order. hartpunkt.de/berlin-und-oslo…

Lockheed Martin’s new Lamprey undersea drone rides attached to warships, charges itself en route, then detaches to conduct surveillance or launch torpedoes. It comes with modular payloads and seabed “ambush” capability.

I had one of these once, a LONG time ago.
I literally had a dream last night that I had to do transmission work on it..weird AF.
In fairness, rust killed it, not anything mechanical

Well.. it's like they suddenly have started to actually understand it is a competition, they sure didn't for too long.
That said, it doesn't seem they could manage this, no way.

I tend to support the navy tradition of hands in pockets, but even I am impressed by the nonchalant killick that is not even a submariner or diver doing it at CANSEC surrounded by more snr officers/NCM than they are ever likely to be around again. BZ!
