The submarine, which was acquired from the United Kingdom in 1998, has been subject to significant repair and refit work and will undergo sea trials. Public affairs officer Capt. Chelsea Dubeau said the submarine has had 47 equipment upgrades including a new communication mast to allow high-speed and highly-secure satellite communications and equipment to allow it to fire modernized torpedoes. “Following the completion of its (extended docking work period) in early 2022, HMCS Corner Brook will be the most advanced submarine in the fleet,” said Dubeau. “The remaining Victoria-class submarines will receive these upgrades as they progress through their respective work periods.” The vessel has seen plenty of repair work since it struck the bottom of the ocean off B.C. in 2011. A fire broke out while it was docked in Victoria in August 2019.
