Royal Canadian Navy Discussions and updates

[John Fedup]

The KSS III has some strong selling points...

- Having a crew size of 30 and individual bunks for 50 are some pretty impressive numbers for a sub of this size.
- An aggressive timeline for first delivery in 6 years from contract and 1 per year there after.
- A proven in-production design de-risks the program.
- Submerged over 3 weeks and 7000nm another big plus.

A negative is the location of the build being in a potential hot zone.

Fair point wrt hot zone but if the PRC moves against Taiwan in the next 2-3 years, who knows what kind of $hit Putin stirs up amongst the only other potential supplier region.

An Oberon had a range of over 10,000 nm and could remain submerged for up to 90 days……
