Nothing can go wrong here.
Interesting read, applicable to Canada, on how Portugal was able to sail an AIP sub under Arctic waters.

How Portugal shaped Canada's new submarines and fine-tuned Arctic defence
Portugal is the first country in recent history to operate a conventional submarine under the Arctic ice. The Navy's adaptations for this mission are being studied by Canada, which will incorporate them into its new fleet. ArpĆ£o has expanded "tactical options" for underwater combat in the far...

Well the obvious solution to the economies of scale problem of splitting the submarine order is to get 12 of each!

I wouldn't look into this too deeply, it's politicians passing a hot potato back to the Navy. Nobody wants a split fleet of submarines, not the Navy, not the bidders and not any of the Government who has a lick of common sense left. The PM personally came out against this split fleet idea, so I don't take it seriously.
It's the worst possible way Canada can go about this procurement.

OR they ask super smart questions about things they don't understand....

Navy knows better. I think they're just fishing for a story.
But it would be a Axworthy/Rock Liberal type of sabotage. That bunch are realizing that Carney is not their type of Liberal and in fact is a small c Conservative. And a "shudder" a BANKER. Whoo ha ha ha

I remember that and maybe discussing it on the Aussie thread. I think the Senator maybe got that info from the gentleseas.blogspot.com site. Where there was a discussion on the efficiency and power requirements of a pump jet vs propeller on nuke boat vs diesel-electric and that the battery endurance would be 20 minutes(?). There were a lot of proponents for nuclear propulsion with respect to Australian subs at the time. Of course in the end the Aussies canceled the French contract
