Germany & Norway Offer Canada Early Access to Submarines
Canada is seeking to procure up to twelve new conventionally powered submarines by 2035 to replace its aging fleet and enhance national defence capabilities. Germany and Norway, jointly developing the 212 CD submarine, offer Canada early access to the production line, allowing expedited delivery. The 212 CD boasts stealth capabilities and is designed for under-ice operations, addressing concerns about potential threats from adversaries. This procurement is driven by a need for improved national defence in light of evolving geopolitical circumstances and the unreliability of certain allies.
