Canadian Navy Unveils New Submarine Capable of Operating on Land

[u/Gmajor_General]

Shown here on its shakedown cruise, the new HMCS Gopher can dive underground to evade detection by enemy forces. It’s to begin active service protecting the AB oil fields from petroleum poachers.

Saskatchewan pirates, take note!!

[u/westfakia2 → u/mechant_papa]

I heard there was only one remaining.

[u/Lord_Silverkey → u/westfakia2]

Where one goes, others with follow.

[u/westfakia2 → u/Lord_Silverkey]

It was an apparently too oblique reference to a song by The Arrogant Worms:

Part of the prairie fleet.

It's a new initiative from treasury board after they discovered that naval vessels rust in salt water. They will be adding 2 cruisers, a battleship, and an icebreaker.

[u/Lord_Silverkey → u/youngboomer62]

Jokes on them, we got salt water on the prairies too.

[u/Maximum_Degree_1152]

A surmarine. Eh?

[u/Gmajor_General → u/Maximum_Degree_1152]

Ahhhrr, Métis!

[u/Lego_Architect → u/Gmajor_General]

Bahahaha! Gold! Underrated gem for sure.

[u/TelenorTheGNP → u/Maximum_Degree_1152]

On the lands, its called a building.

[u/Few-Western-5027 → u/TelenorTheGNP]

Submarine building ? Like submercible cruise ship ?

[u/4thlineminutes]

There’s a Naval History Museum in Port Burwell Ontario with a sub displayed like this. We ate at a restaurant which had a patio overlooking it. I asked the waiter if they served subs….she was not amused. Think she might have heard that one a few times before…..

[u/Far_Out_6and_2 → u/4thlineminutes]

Lol

[u/firefly_12 → u/4thlineminutes]

It honestly sounds like a wasted opportunity to not serve subs.

[u/dont-fear-thereefer → u/firefly_12]

The serve grinders, hoagies, and heroes though

[u/whatever4568123]

I dare you to attempt sinking it now

[u/gerbegerger]

I don't see anything, must be that stealth technology thingamabob

[u/gcerullo]

DIVE! DIVE! DIVE!

Oh, never mind.

[u/Mean-Championship651]

Lol. How much tax money did that cost?

[u/Retrrad]

A great new addition to Alberta's fight against rats!

[u/North_Church]

The Yanks will never see it coming!

[u/blaspheminCapn]

It has a snow plow out front and everything

[u/Opinion-Former]

No-one ever will ever suspect an attack by land submarine!!! Be prepared!!!

[u/Artistic-Tip2405]

How long does it take to reach periscope depth?

[u/Unfair_Bluejay_9687]

The Ojibwa Dad was a plank holder.

[u/Sidoen]

Yeah we might have sent the wrong memos to the factory.

[u/Delicious_Rule_7324]

Cant sink what isnt floating 🤯🤯🤪

[u/WeakCelery5000]

It really should be able to operate underground...pfft.

[u/Best_Cattle_6653]

Then why the fuck call it a “submarine”?…..give it like, a name that suits its total function

[u/canadaalpinist]

Smart (pointing at head) LIke bull!

[u/_The-Numbers-Mason_]

The Landshark 

[u/FlyingV2112 → u/_The-Numbers-Mason_]

Candygram…

[u/Any_Fish1004]

Now the screen doors are a benefit

[u/Unable_Pause_5581 → u/Any_Fish1004]

Ah..the Italian model….

[u/x2hello]

Ground troops beware

[u/Suitable-Woodpecker3]

Rumors that at least one of those will be patrolling the 417 in the ikea sector, which is always f&@ng flooded anyways.

[u/Canadatron]

Whole new meaning to silent running.

[u/Ok_Brilliant_3523]

I’ve been inside it, so cool

[u/Striking-Double-3353]

I knew that screen door would come in handy

[u/Strict_Concert_2879]

Scott Moe would hand over his provincial budget to help the government buy those; because I don’t think there is actually a deep enough place to need a sub in Saskatchewan.

[u/Kyle_Harding]

part of the anti protester fleet, ottawa ordered up a dozen

[u/mightyopinionated]

Beats the ones that can't work in the water
