Thank Goodness

As a former submariner, I know all too well that a catastrophe on a submarine is, well, pretty much a catastrophe.  Thank goodness this catastrophe was diverted, though not without some damage, but no deaths.

  1. If I were the Canadians I’d opt for the extended warranty on that buggy!

  2. What I want to know is why do the Canuks need a submarine?

  3. Quite possibly, it’s a “club” thing.  Gotta have a submarine to be in the “club.”

  4. More likely, they’ve been asked to pick up some of their own defense.

    I found it interesting that the sub in question was one of several picked up from the Brits.  Particularly was the concept that this is the second time in three weeks this sub’s been disabled.

    Is there a lemon law for submarines?
    Or is this a case of the Canadians being out of the game for so long the talent base isn’t there anymore?

  5. British cars...British submarines. Phewy.

    ...

    Old joke:

    Do you know why the British drink warm beer?


    Because they make refrigerators, too.
