I helped train some Canucks at the SWSC - submarine warfare systems centre - at HMAS Watson in the late 80s. Australia had some sonars , fire control gear and weaponry the CDF was just getting equipped with in refit. We still only had female tech contractors on boats then, no gals in uniform. But yes, women were aboard, the world didn't end. Took awhile to get the smell of diesel out of my hair after each trip. The O boats after refit with the CSU83 sonar and Mk48 torps were very effective, just long in the tooth.
Canada has Submarines, Jesus Christ you guys have kept that quiet, well at least for me. Wow, this is so cool. In just one hot minute, the world seems safer and more secure with you guys out there keeping an eye out for the rest of us. Thank you.

Diesel boats forever.
God save us from skimmers and may the Upper lid always SHUT tight! LOL
Single biggest mistake Canada ever made was retiring the venerable Oberon Submarines. Reliable and trouble free.
