See? Canada has an army...

[MaxDepth]

Because why would they write these instructions if they didn't have one?

 

[Stunt]

Course we have an army
We just don't spend as much as you guys do...

$10billion a year is spent on the military here. Take into account that we have less than 1/10 the people and economy, combined with the fact we only use it when colaborating with other countries, it suits our needs just fine

It's funny reading the instructions on american weapons, like the LAW.

1) Extend tubes
2) Remove Safety
3) POINT THIS END TOWARDS TARGET
4) Fire
5) Dispose

Not only that, you know that if anyone actually fvcked with you guys that we'd be right there to help you out.

It's like befriending the big guy at school so that all the bullies will leave you alone.

Hehe...damn british subs...
They were actually a good deal, and we didnt need anything super high tech, just needed them to protect the northern coast of our country.

I hope they can get them fixed

I dunno about that.

The US doesnt have any enemies near by...that's why you hardly need an army on your home soil.

If the US wasnt there i would imagine we'd be similar to the smaller european countries with 30million people and work collectively in a UN type organization, as we do now.

But sharing a border benifits us both very well...great relatoinship :thumbsup:

I could not believe the Brits actually had the balls to table the idea of billing Canada for the rescue of the sub.

If you saw the ridiculously low price we are paying...you'd understand.

basically we are renting them for 5 years and buying them for one dollar at the end of the rental period.
plus, they know we have cash, only G8 country running a surplus. $8billion at that...and this is our 7th year with a surplus?...something like that.

The price of four second-hand British submarines destined for the Canadian navy has increased, says the federal defence department.

Canada bought the diesel-powered submarines from the British government for $750 million.

about $200million per sub.

They are worth even less to them rusting away pierside or broken up for scrap (becoming environmentally trick these days).

Still, kind of a sh!tty thing to do IMO.

Yeah...although they are diesels...so not as bad as nuclear to dispose of.
and for reference, new US attack sub is $1.7billion

We'll cut you a deal on a slightly used, meticulously maintained Los Angeles class attack sub with minor hull damage.

Well I'd imagine that new US attack sub would probably be capable of destroying all of your newly purchased subs without a scratch. If not, then we're overpaying on our subs.

I hopeso too...these subs are damn old, i hope latest and greatest tech can take out a good 10+ of these.
If not you might as well buy 8 of these oldies

Again these subs are only to ensure other countries don't claim our uninhabited northern coast.
It will soon be a major trading route and we have to show the world it is ours. These subs will never see combat, they are just for show.

our subs aren't really detectable by diesel subs tho (few nukes can find them either), and only by active sonar, then your arse is toast before you'd even load the tubes.

A modern diesel/electric operating on batteries can be quieter than a modern nuclear sub.

The Germans have even introduced fuel cells into their designs which increase speed and endurance without the need to surface.

Good thing we are one of your best allies ...and the situation you propose would never happen...
