## Resource

Canada’s lone active submarine just made headlines by sinking a decommissioned U.S. warship in a major international drill — a bold move meant to inspire the next generation to dive into the deep. But behind the splash is a serious challenge: Canada has just 193 qualified submariners, far short of the 336 needed to crew twelve new German-built subs set to arrive by 2034. The captain of HMCS Corner Brook called the sink exercise a “happy surprise,” praising the high-stakes teamwork and personal accountability that define life beneath the waves. While recruitment and training plans are underway — including international partnerships — experts warn that building a sustainable submarine force means more than just sailors: it requires engineers, technicians, and support staff too. With the future fleet on track, the navy’s biggest asset remains its people — and they’re racing to get enough of them ready.
