Why does Canada need a submarine fleet?

Take care.

Enforce fishing regulations, intercept smugglers etc. We do have a long
coastline..east, west and arctic. The US navy encouraged us also. Seems
they wanted to practice their equipment on very quiet diesel/electrics.

Those four subs Britain sucked us into buying keep getting worse.

Maybe we should have picked up a couple from the Russians.



Maybe Canada should have been more on top of things, such as technical, QA
and QC specifications as well as acceptance testing.

We got suckered by a low ball offer...but now the costs of updating to
Canadian standards are adding up.

Ah - now that makes some sense. There are a bunch of those little
critters around.

I'm sorry that one of the crew died, but as I was reading that article
I parsed the Captain's name as Luc Picard. :)

Man, I need to get a life.

Later,

Tom

Hey, one of my prized collector pieces is a '68 Triumph Trophy 250
motorcycle.

It's never failed to start in almost forty years.

So there.

Neener, neener...

All the best,

Tom

The Cubans own Florida de facto anyway - makes sense to me.

You are kidding, right?

An electrical fire. Duh! Look in the dictionary under Lucas and you'll
probably see a picture of *some* sort of vehicle burning.

IMHO, british=poor quality.... and that includes high priced crap like
Rolls Royce .... the last one I rode in squeaked like a buggy and Land
Rover....



That's a pretty broad brush you are using there Gene.

I can list not one but thousands of defects in American made products
resulting in property damager or physical injury. Does one then conclude
that all American products are crap?

Personally, I don't know of any british products I would own. I do own
many American products that have proven to be safe and of good value.

If you wish to conclude that American products are flawed, present an
imminent danger, and are not of good value, I suggest you buy british.

Come to think of it.... I'll bet you could get one hell of a deal on
a Canadian registered, british made, sub lying off the coast of
Ireland.

Quick, look up Gene.....the point of my post just flew over your head.

Idiot. If you had your way, you'd bomb everything and everybody that
doesn't have a Bush/Cheney sticker. You know they are traitors, if
they don't have one, right?
