re the Victoria class – I am personally acquainted with people on the UK and Canadian side of this project and I think my Canadian chums would accept that the vast majority of the issues they've had with them have been self-inflicted. The boats themselves were generally sound – at least as sound as one would expect vessels that had been laid up for years to be in. And they were in FAR better condition than second hand warships sold by some other countries that I am too polite to mention :) |

Also, the Canadians may have had some difficulty obtaining technical support, as I nicked the sign saying "Upholder Class Technical Support" off a door in Platypus building at HMS Dolphin, and later stuck it on my office door at Brunel University. Not sorry. All the best, John. |
