The Victoria-class submarine is a class of diesel-electric submarines used by the Royal Canadian Navy. Designed in the 1980s, these submarines were originally built for the British Royal Navy and later acquired by Canada in the early 2000s. They are known for their stealth capabilities and can operate in various underwater environments. Each Victoria-class submarine is approximately 75 meters long and can carry a crew of around 50 personnel. Equipped with advanced sonar and weapon systems, they are capable of anti-submarine warfare, intelligence gathering, and surveillance missions. The submarines play a crucial role in Canada's maritime defense strategy.
