    Canadian Patrol Submarine Project (CPSP, Victoria-class replacement)

    Since the only Canadian submarine related thread is in the alternative history section (https://www.secretprojects.co.uk/threads/canadas-next-submarine.41251/#post-590211), I've decided to make a new dedicated thread for the actual, very real program.

    Virginia block III/IV vs Astute

    I would like to make a comparison of these two submarines. I mean sonar system, acoustic technology , speed and overall technology comparison. I would also like to know what is amazing about ssn 790 south dakota that everyone writes about some acoustic advantage over other subs.

    A friend of mine has asked me to check out a rumour that HMS Cockade sank a suspected Soviet sub while serving with a US force in the Korean War. He thinks the papers are embargoed until at least 2050.
