When, two months ago, two Canadian CF-18 fighter jets turned away two Russian TU-95 Bear bombers approaching Canada's Arctic shore, followed in short order by Defence Minister Peter MacKay repeating a $9-billion plan (or is it $16-billion) to buy 65 F-35 joint strike fighter jets to "meet the threats of the 21st century," I laughed my socks off. At RAF Leuchars in the 1960s, we had a fully armed Lightning interceptor, with duty pilot, waiting 24-7 in a shed at the end of the runway, tasked to be "airborne, wheels up" within three minutes of northern radar picking up a Russian Bison or Bear bomber approaching western airspace.

[Vic Furney] and his crew were given a briefing by U.S. navy officers detailing how the Scorpion had been shadowing a Soviet submarine for several days. "The fear was that there had been an underwater collision," he told [Ed Offley]. Furney was adamant the navy intelligence officers who briefed his crew had told them the Scorpion was engaged in a running encounter with a Russian submarine. What was important for Offley was that Furney's information was essentially the same as what he had already heard from five U.S. military personnel assigned to either submarines or surface ships. In an interview with the Ottawa Citizen, Furney said he believes the Scorpion sank after an altercation with the Russian sub. But he doesn't buy into Offley's theory the Soviet boat fired off a torpedo which ...

In the North Atlantic Ocean, on the night of Feb. 3-4, at an undisclosed depth, the British nuclear submarine Vanguard and the French nuclear submarine Le Triomphant ran into each other. Both boats were "boomers," missile-firing submarines carrying 16 ballistic missiles, each of which can deliver several nuclear warheads at intercontinental range. That still ought to be enough, but they are also deliberately running blind. If they operated their "active" sonar (the thing that goes "ping" in the war movies), they would detect everything on and below the surface for many kilometres around them -- but everything they heard would also hear them. He has a lot on his plate right now, but here's a step in the right direction that costs nothing: announce that the U.S. Navy will no longer run "c...

The problem with Canadian submarines being largely out-of-sight, out-of-mind and overshadowed by the army in Afghanistan, however, is that Canadians can't connect with the notion that Canada's submarines have emerged as a potent force on the international stage. Cmdr. [Luc Cassivi], who has commanded three of the submarines -- HMCS Victoria, Corner Brook and Windsor -- is the navy's submarine division commander. As a result, the sad truth is that it's the fire aboard the HMCS Chicoutimi that Canadians know about, not the Canadian submarines' silent emergence as a potent force on the international stage.
