Type 212CD submarine

It's a big milestone, represents a vote of confidence in the service that we lead and deliver as part of the industrial component of submarine sustainment in Canada.

I think what it m- ultimately means for the Canadian Navy and the submarine force is being able to continue to provide the support and the service that enables the Royal Canadian Navy to have a safe and effective submarine fleet as we undergo this period of transition from the Victoria class to the future Type 212CD.

Sure.

And I think it's safe to say the Victoria in service support contract had its challenges at the start, but has been on a positive trajectory.

Uh, we're now almost twenty or twenty-two months of time that we've been able to maintain schedule adherence on HMCS Victoria's extended docking work period, and that reflects the experience that's been built up over multiple continuous extended docking work periods stretching from 2010 until today.

If we turn to the Canadian Patrol Submarine Project, the last time Babcock spoke with Vanguard, a, a builder hadn't been selected yet.

Now that TKMS has been selected, um, what are Babcock's thoughts on the government of Canada's selection of Type 212CD submarines?

I think the most important thing is Canada's made a decision and made a decision promptly.
