Replacing the Subs

[PHughes]

That also assumes that governments don't change between now and delivery... If Germany says, "we want all our boats now, Canada can wait", since TKMS will be making them in Germany, Canada will wait.

Going with an option that has the production capacity to build our boats faster from the start means we reduce the risk of wait times caused by future political shifts.


Normally when I see someone so negative about one thing, and full of praise for the other, they have a motivation. A perfect example is car salesmen...

Simply pointing out the known design and capabilities of the two boats in comparison to the known very high level RCN SoR is being realistic.

Not jumping on the “bigger boat is better” bandwagon is being realistic.

We have so little actual factual information to work with, the boat’s specs are so secret and the details of the mission profiles the bidders will need to submit are unknown means an objective evaluation of the two boats is difficult if not impossible.

Either boat will be a huge leap forward for the RCN. Hopefully the kids at the pointy end of stick will get the boat that best suits their needs rather than politician’s careers.
