Summary
Canada’s aging Victoria-class submarines, bought from Britain in the 90s, are being pushed to serve for another decade—until new German subs arrive by 2034. These four subs, plagued by floods, fires, and a decade-long grounding, are now kept alive through costly, custom-made spare parts and intensive maintenance. Only one is currently operational, while the others train crews for the future fleet. Experts debate whether this stretch is feasible, but the navy’s goal remains clear: keep the submarine force alive until the new era begins.
