Looks just like a Russian warship but this can surface too!
SKorea, CT scanned my dad and returned him. +2 buddsies.
They should have a submarine duel to decide.

This is about the most advanced conventional submarine that you’re going to find anywhere on the planet right now,” proclaimed Glenn Copeland, the CEO of Hanwha Canada, as he watched his company’s submarine dock at the Canadian naval base.
The lone competing German-Norwegian bid promises to supply Canada with the next generation of TKMS Type 212CD submarines, which are the other shortlisted option. The European-made model promises to run completely silent while also being invisible to underwater magnetic sensors.
Both submarines have Arctic patrol capabilities, vital to Canada’s security in the North, and both bids promise to create thousands of jobs on Canadian soil in multiple sectors.
PNG.VN baby! Let’s fucking go!
Great boats. Very hard call though between the SK KSS-IIIs and the new German 212CDs
I vote South korea because I like Korea
C’mon down to Crazy Bob’s new and used submarines! Just in is this gorgeous brand new HanWa boat, loaded with extras. Low down payment and easy credit! Stop in today for a test dive. Crazy Bob’s at Pier 17!
As long as it isn’t American I will be happy.
As a footnote, the US Navy’s Sound Surveillance System (SOSUS). I hope Canada has control over any monitoring systems in the arctic or Canadian waters. If not we should look into that.
I like the concept of the SK submarine better than the German one – it has both launch tube types rather than everything being pushed out of a torpedo tube.
It gives them more flexibility in load out.
But either would be a massive improvement over the current fleet, and both are their advantages.
I prefer the Korean option simply because they already have one built and their delivery schedule seems achievable
Why not both and 24.
Only Hanwa has Peter Mansbridge doing commercials for them
‘The Republic of Korea Navy believes that the transit across the Pacific, which stretched nearly 15,000 kilometres, is a testament to the capabilities of the KSS-III.’
What a sales pitch!
