Iran Works on Nuclear-Powered Ships in Response to U.S. Sanctions

At least we could (probably) invade New Zealand: How small is the Royal Canadian Navy, really?

In 2017, Canada’s last destroyer, HMCS Athabaskan, will be retired, forcing the Royal Canadian Navy to lean on the U.S. to protect its ships from air attack. Last year, the vessel, flagship of the Atlantic fleet, twice broke down while at sea. Meanwhile, even Canada’s newly renovated submarines won’t last more than a few years without a few billion dollars in upgrades.

Critics have called the Royal Canadian Navy “decayed,” “neglected” and “embarrassing.” But how small is our once-mighty navy, really? The National Post called up naval experts and defence thinkers and dug through troves of international naval data to find out just how the Royal Canadian Navy stacks up on the high seas.

Canada has a grand total of 29 warships
One (soon-to-be-retired) destroyer, 12 frigates, 12 coastal defence vessels and four submarines. That’s every single ship in the Royal Canadian Navy designed to break things (which is to say, a ship with guns, torpedoes and missiles on it).

Smaller than any other G7 country
The biggest pitfall of comparing navies is simply to compare fleet sizes. (An aircraft carrier trumps a destroyer, after all.) Nevertheless, on almost any metric, Canada is out-navied by its G7 colleagues. France, the U.S. and the U.K. have nuclear-powered subs, unlike Canada. Italy has an aircraft carrier. Even Japan, which has maintained a famously pacifist foreign policy since the Second World War, has four times more submarines than Canada, 40 more destroyers and two helicopter carriers.

Smaller than Australia
Australia is essentially a hotter Canada with 12 million fewer people and $400 billion fewer in GDP. Nevertheless, the Australians have 3,500 more sailors, a larger fleet and a bigger budget. “They live in a rougher neighbourhood,” Rob Huebert, a University of Calgary naval researcher, told the National Post. Most importantly, the Aussies fluff up their naval budget with the full knowledge that, if something goes down, they can’t simply wait for the Americans to save them.

Canada’s entire naval strength is less than a single overseas U.S. Navy base

What you don't understand ... because you're an idiot ... is that we don't NEED a large navy.

[HappyHappy]

Canada's entire military is less than a typical US Naval task force.

Holy shit! We better start spending trillions of tax payers dollars to build a large navy in case New Zealand decides to invade British Columbia!

[callmeslick]

or you could be like us: attacked by Egyptians and Saudis, we invade Iraq. You need a strong military to blunder about the planet in such a fashion.

But you are an idiot, I understand.

Why am I not surprised you failed geography.
Russia comes in 4th behind Canada, Indonesia and Greenland. Nice try, though. Maybe you shouldn't have slept through High School.

Protect it from what? From who? Canada is the most respected country on Earth. Who the flying fuck is going to launch a naval invasion of Canada? That's like saying that Switzerland needs a large navy.
Fuck, you're stupid.

BTW ... is America's 4.4 billion dollar piece of shit still broken down in the Panama canal?
