Canada picks Germany’s TKMS for new submarines
- The German-owned naval shipbuilder made the bid with NATO ally Norway, beating out South Korea’s Hanwha Ocean.
- Canada has said it wants Germany’s TKMS to build up to 12 submarines to help replace its ageing fleet, the largest defence procurement in the country’s history.
- “In a more dangerous and divided world, Canada must be prepared to defend our interests, protect our citizens, build our economy, and secure our future,” Prime Minister Mark Carney said on Monday before his planned trip to Turkiye for a NATO leaders summit.
