Summary
Canada’s lone operational submarine, the HMCS Corner Brook, just sank a decommissioned U.S. warship during a high-stakes RIMPAC exercise off Hawaii — proving its combat punch despite being an aging relic. Just days after revealing only one of its four subs is seaworthy, the Canadian crew fired a torpedo that took down the USS Mobile Bay, deep in the Pacific. It’s a rare, dramatic moment in a massive multinational drill involving 30 nations, where submarines usually play decoy roles — but this time, Canada’s old sub delivered a knockout blow. The U.S. Navy confirmed the sinking, and another ship was sunk nearby — all part of a global training spectacle. Canada’s submarine fleet is crumbling, but crews must keep these aging vessels running until the next generation of German-built subs arrives — a $12 billion defense gamble that could reshape Canada’s naval future.
