Now trying to squeeze a car plant in Canada out of the bidders....

Why not both? German boats in Halifax, Korean in Esqualmat. 6 each.

[Dr Strangelove]

2 subs by 2034 earliest. SK could have a full four‑boat fleet delivered before 2035 if Canada signs in 2026

That's my thought. What are the benefits of each, and can one sub do all the jobs we need? Perhaps a mix fit for purpose is best.

What would the Germans know about building subs?
I rested my chin on my fist to keep my mouth from falling open....
