The sad thing is for the intial buyout and repair contract we could have built new ones, saved money, and created jobs in a Canadian shipyard. Instead we spend about $950,000 per DAY maintaining these. I would imagine about 3/4’s of that finds its way into pockets of insiders.
2nd hand subs, converted supply ships when ours literally rusted out, 2nd hand Australian F-18s, borrowed 2nd hand German tanks and purchased surplus Dutch tanks, 2nd hand American helicopters...
If it's in the bargain bin Canada will buy it!
Is there a value village for milsurp?
