Replacing the Subs

[Czech_pivo]

or most likely Korea will lend us a submarine and train us in its use. As soon as the first one is ready we'll sail it to Canada and base our training in Canada. There's no appetite to pawn these subs off to the Philippines. Breakers yard or as a museum most likely for at least one.

Target practice?

We can't get enough bunks for our submariners now, let alone giving up bunks to the Philippine Navy. Also factor in that our subs don't do well in tropical environments as they were built for the North Atlantic and Baltic. Same reason why we didn't sell the Kingston Class to the Philippine Navy.

I suppose I could be dead wrong but I expect they will not be pawned off to anyone else given their spotty history and the reasons above.

I thought we were short submariners?

If we offered them to the Philippines, they might only want them as a training sub and since we have a functioning repair facility already, that training might take place here on the Westcoast. This could only happen if we go KSS-III, if we go 212CD, then the Vic's will have used up any life in them by the time the Germans get us more than 2 subs.

If we go Korean, likley the first sub stays in Korea and the crews trains there cycling in and out. And when the 2nd is launched, the first sails to Esquimalt, the transition of the submarine repair facility likley starts as soon as the first boat is launched, with the first boat back in Canada, the Victoria's are decommissioned or transferred to another navy.

The Philippine Navy is looking to acquire subs, who knows they might take the Vics as a interim training sub and train here in the west Coast and then move onto a new platform later.

sell them back to the British. They seem to be running out of boats.

Not short in the sense we have too many for the boats we have operational and trying to train.

As mentioned before they probably won't be offered even as static training boats to the Philippines. Are you cook up a another reason to give then to them?
