So equipment that is authorized for training but not used in the operational environment???

Not a huge surprise considering the Walrus currently carries the MK48.

From what I have read these boats have both LI batteries and AIP

From the story the water came from an internal tank which means the tank was probably over filled and overflowed out the vent.

That is one of the possible candidates on the list that the project office is looking at.

Remember our preference is to keep the water out of the people tank.

This looks like great kit, now hopefully the RCN will by into this as well and finally ditch the cotton thermal underwear that is useless in a wet environment.

They do have the replaceable white covers available now.

Our prospective COs still do the perisher course, just now it is either the Dutch or Norwegian course since the RN is all NUC

With the size of the MK48 and the launch requirements you would need tubes mounted below the water line.

When it comes to warmth there is nothing like my whitish submarine turtleneck sweater.

For WINDSOR it was probably a Lion skull as he crest has the Mer-Lion on it. I will see if I can dig up a picture of it.

Canada has definitely had people fail Perisher. Canada sends our perspective CO's on either the Dutch or Norwegian Perisher.

  That is one of the surface launch torpedo tubes.

Yes Mar Techs are deployed on submarines and the can be posted to a boat on completion of the RQ OS phase of their training.  They can also spend their whole career in submarines.

A lot will depend on what trade you are, not all trades are represented on subs.  There is also a submarine medical to pass.  DAOD 5003-7 is the reference. "Eligible CF members who wish to serve in submarines may make this known to their CO at any time. Career managers compile lists of CF...

I have a solution for the OP if he really wants to wear coveralls as a rescue swimmer.  Go on a BSQ  and get qualified subs then he can be a rescue swimmer on one of the subs while wearing coveralls :skull: :sarcasm:

  No the torpedo fired was not a Mod 7 it was a MK 48 mod 4M, I should know as I was her TI at the time. As to the "extensive modifications" that were rewired to the torpedo tubes there have been very few changes to the weapons discharge system and the only big change was the swap out of the...

  The new thermals are 100% COTTON.  I cannot understand who would think that cotton thermals make sense in a maritime environment.  Most of the time that I end up wearing them it is both cold and wet.  Cotton looses all thermal properties when it gets wet.  There are better materials out there...
