Whoa, meeting with manufacturers? We're getting new subs, not somebody else's obsolete garbage?
As far as I can tell the KSS-III class of subs from ROK would be the frontrunner. Last year Babcock, the company that provides maintenance for our current subs, signed a contract to cooperate on the deal with Hanwa Ocean. It's one of the best conventional subs, it has 6xVLS with the next block stretched and supposed to feature 10xVLS. Also, it's in production, which could mean relatively quick turnaround once they were ordered. The fact that it can deploy the Hyunmoo 4-4 ballistic missile is also a pretty big deal. If Canada were to be faced with a hypothetical scenario of a powerful belligerent dictatorship, stealthy submarines with ballistic missiles could provide interesting options for credible deterrence.
Very cool. Korea 's MIC is absolutely killing it lately. It'll be interesting to see their role on the global stage once most countries have taken delivery (like Poland's absurdly large order for tanks)
Pretty sure Poland got a deal to manufacture them in Poland. They want to make their own industry too.
