Canada used to be a small county but with -40m people we can no longer afford to have a small town attitude to national security Last week the UK Royal Navy introduced its sixth Astute-class attack submarine named HMS Agamemnon. This state-of-the-art nuclear-powered submarine is set to be launched later this year. This is vessel 6 of 7 being introduced into service to protect UK national security. There is very little that surface vessels or land assets can do to detect or neutralise such a fleet. Canada should follow Australia into an upgraded AUKUS agrement to reinforce like minded democratic institutions. Canada has the talent and resources to buildout a world class submarine fleet worthy of this great country. The Astute submarines are built in the North-west of England in a not so small town called Barrow-in-Furness and the resources, skills and experience are well within the capabilities of any of our sea facing provinces. As the Astute program winds down in the UK perhaps a commercial alliance to build Astutes in Canada is necessary?
The Royal Navy's latest Astute Class submarine has been officially named Agamemnon at our Submarines site in Barrow-in-Furness, Cumbria. Agamemnon - named after the ancient Greek king - is the sixth of seven Astute submarines. 🔗Find out more: http://baes.co/jew850RmZkY Learn more about Astute Class submarines 👉 http://baes.co/b1eh50RmZTG
