Navy submarine suffered long-term damage to ballast tank from errant test: Report

by Lee Berthiaume, The Canadian Press Posted Apr 5, 2021 5:00 am ADT Last Updated Apr 5, 2021 at 5:09 am ADT OTTAWA An internal Defence Department report has pulled back the curtain on the damage caused by an errant test on one of Canada’s four submarines last year, suggesting some of the damage is permanent and could continue to pose a risk over the long term. Obtained by The Canadian Press through Access to Information, the report represents another setback for Canada’s four submarines, which have spent more time in repairs than at sea since being bought second-hand from Britain in 1998.  HMCS Corner Brook has been hit particularly hard, with the vessel docked for extensive repairs and maintenance for the past six years after striking the bottom of the ocean off B.C. in 2011. A fire also broke out while it was docked in Victoria in August 2019.
