Summary
Germany and Norway are making a bold move to win Canada’s submarine contract by offering a shared NATO fleet of Type 212CD submarines—potentially creating the world’s largest conventional submarine force with 24 boats if Canada joins. The plan includes interchangeable parts, training, and crews for seamless Arctic and North Atlantic security cooperation. To prove commitment, Germany has locked in delivery of four submarines by 2036 and both nations are sacrificing their own production slots to speed up Canada’s entry into the program—directly countering South Korea’s faster delivery promise. Canada is expected to decide by end of June, and this unified, accelerated offer is a serious rival to the Korean bid. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
