Submarines
The Victoria-class long range patrol submarines are the Navy’s “special forces”. These stealthy submarines are well armed and capable of patrolling over vast distances, while their flexibility allows them to perform a wide range of unique naval missions.
Acquired from the Royal Navy in the 1990s, the Victoria-class submarines can operate in the Arctic, Pacific and Atlantic approaches to Canada and significantly extend the Navy’s tactical and strategic capabilities.
The Victoria-class submarine’s homeports are Esquimalt, British Columbia, and Halifax, Nova Scotia.
The current Victoria-class submarines are:
- HMCS Victoria
- HMCS Windsor
- HMCS Corner Brook
- HMCS Chicoutimi
