Calgary’s own Tim Choi (@timdotchoi) joins me to discuss the “new” Canadian Navy, to include the Type 31 frigates, Joint Support Ships, and offshore patrol vessels. We also dive deep into the saga of the Victoria-class submarines and the replacement for the Sea King helicopters and Aurora maritime patrol aircraft. Enjoy!
