So has anyone heard more on what the Korean's are doing since we didn't select them? I've seen a few things basically saying there pulling out of a lot of stuff they had planned, even stuff not directly related to the subs in Canada?

So came across this article, which if all true, explains more why he went with Germans over Korea. https://www.wsj.com/world/europe/canadian-steered-europe-away-from-u-s-83898af4?mod=e2tw Edit: Sorry. Here's some points A few points: 1. It all started with Carney reading intelligence briefs...

Ya, while I no fan of Irving and they have been bad players in many respects, if the government was not telling them they needed to produce boats on a certain time frame, they're not going to usually speed it up out of kindness of their hearts. Now can the current government somehow force them...

I'm not as negative, as it's in Germany's interest not to screw this up given their aim to be a major sub supplier in the West (Korea, just by location, is always going be more drawn to supplying customers in the Asian region)

Not very positive with this stuff, are you, lol

Wait, explain that to me. How could we have 12 subs before we have fifteen Rivers-ships are a lot more complicated that a surface boat, so should we not have all the Rivers sooner?

If I was ten years younger, I would defently be interested based on just reading about the sub itself. But at 34/35, even if I still end up going the military out for some kind of income and skill building given the current job market experience, I don't think they want someone that close to the...

Ok, I not a big fan of that timeline. Also why does it seems that they're already trying to cut down the number. 'Sigh' I'm not trying to be one of those people that goes auto 'liberals don't do anything to actually help the arm forces' but this is not picturing a good image of them.

I hope down the line we don't reduce the number of subs in half unless we simply really can't get the crews for them (that one matter, that barring conscription, can't be solved no matter how fast a sub can be built or local industry build to maintain them/do it ourselves can fix)

Ya, both Irving and Davie have not covered themselves in glory when it comes to building military stuff on time and within cost. I would hope the Federal Gov will hold their feet to the fire. As a resident on NB, I really don't like how both federal and provincial at times seem unwilling to...

Eh, I could see the delayed timeline being seen as better to allow the military to get more people in the navy and train people. I would hope Carney didn't choose them because of the above worry. I think a lot of people in the gov and Canada itself realize that we can't let our forces degrade...

But Canada needs new subs. And even if things 'settle down', that the USA elected someone like Trump twice means that we cannot expect to have the same reliability. Not to mention the current subs are, I suspect, already entering their end life for what their hulls can stand.

Ya, it's the time delays and people saying the Korea ones are better technology-with the Germany company being a lot more vague on the details. If they did go with Germany, I do wonder why the government would choose one with a much more sketchy delivery. Maybe trying to leave wiggle room...

So the Germany choice, if that is correct, is it the worst choice of the two? I've heard that some worried that Germany couldn't produce sub quick enough for Canada.
