Canada’s Yellow submarines (i.e. lemons)

[dropshort1]

Compared to our Nukes these submarines are much better, Extreamely quiet, and very efficient.

The S class Subamarines we are running in the royal navy now are out of date at Best, Sovereign was commisioned in the 70s and is now over 30 years old.

The Systems on the Upholder class are in advance of this and are much more reliable than a nuclear sub, as well as not having the inherrant dangers that go with a nuclear sub.

The maintenance is still contracted to companies such as the one I work for, and we have been out on the upholder class a few times (I stress to add that it wasnt our kit that failed!)

In fact the Subs that give us the most work are S & T class ones, Upholder and V class subs have very few problems.

Diesel Electric subs are in my opinion the way forward in modern warfare, and I think that had the UK government foreseen this, and the changing role from the old Cold war Hunter Killers we would not be seeing Astute!

Just my two pence worth!
