No...and no marines either.

is the navy getting any new ships and getting subs

Tes looks like the AORs will be replaced by the JSS in a few years...OPVs are being considered as is a common surface combatant to replace both the 280s and CPFs around the 2020 time frame. We have leased 4 Updolder Class SSKs and we are in the process of reactivating them and bringing them up to Canadian standards.

ok thanks.. how do you become an navy diver. im 15 years old just starting to look into a career in the navy or army.

 

[Ex-Dragoon]

To become a ships team diver you volunteer for it. Its a secondary duty

 

[Babba]

ok thanks cool. maybe i will look into a career with the navy

 

[Babba]

There are also two dedicated diving trades: clearance diver and port inspection diver (reg and reserve respectively).  (The names may have changed, as they seem to from time to time.)

There are sailors in JTF 2, though.

I understood that the OPV was intended to fill roles that don't necessarily require something the size of a CPF, but do require an offshore capability beyone what an MCDV can provide.

Agreed but he never specified so I went with the basics.

But they are not marines, there is a difference. there is also Air Force but you would not compare them to the PJs of the USAF.

Yes and I also said that this program/proposal was in addition to the new surface combatant down the road.

Combat Divers are Army.

You must Be Engineer Qualified And ThenBe Fit Enough For the Course. Then get a Spot ( A Highly Requested Course )

They Do Engineer tasks in An Aquatic Enviroment

Of course.  I was speaking with ref. to the original poster's question on special forces and SEALs, naval JTF2 members being perhaps the closest Canadian equivalent to having a naval special forces outfit.  Poor quoting on my part, it appears.

There should be a rule where people aren't allowed to hear about the JTF unless they have atleast 2 years in the forces.

JTF-2 has members from the Navy, that does not mean they form a naval compnent within JTF-2.
