Canadian Submarine Force: Victoria Class Submarines

for Canada Submarines are part of the unseen force of the nation; they are stealthy, lethal and persistent, making them ideal for surveillance and intelligence gathering. In an emerging crisis, a submarine presence can profoundly shape regional decisionmaking, and a submarines lethality can contribute decisively to combat operations, both in defending ships on the surface and placing opposing forces at peril. Canadas Victoriaclass submarine fleet has been active at sea since 2003.
