Canada Advances Patrol Submarine Procurement

Public Services and Procurement Canada

Through Canada's defence policy, Our North, Strong and Free, the Government of Canada is providing members of the Royal Canadian Navy (RCN) with the equipment they need to keep Canadians safe and maintain current and future operational readiness.

Canada has the largest coastline in the world, and it is essential that the RCN be equipped with superior underwater surveillance capability to maintain our country's security and sovereignty. The RCN's current Victoria-class submarine fleet is scheduled to be decommissioned in the mid-2030s. As such, replacement vessels are needed so that Canada can continue meet its defence objectives and maintain its maritime capabilities.
