Public summary
The Victoria class is Canada's diesel-electric submarine force for undersea surveillance, intelligence collection, sea-control and training tasks. Mk 48 torpedoes, submarine sonar and diesel-electric propulsion give the boats meaningful covert capability, but availability and age shape how much practical capacity the class can provide. The class remains Canada's only submarine capability while future replacement options are considered.
