The Canadian government has selected Germany's ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems (TKMS) as the builder for its next-generation submarine program, Canada's leading daily The Globe and Mail reported Thursday, citing two sources.
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney is scheduled to announce the plan to acquire diesel-powered submarines to replace the aging Victoria-class vessels at 5:10 p.m. Thursday local time (5:10 a.m. Friday Korea time). He will also unveil the preferred bidder for the Canadian Patrol Submarine Project (CPSP) at that time.
