#1 Singapore will buy 2 Swedish A-17 Vastergotland submarines, which are expected to enter service starting in 2010, replacing some of current Challenger-class submarines.

Wonder if the Canadians are still in the market for a couple of operational subs?

The current plan is to put them up on blocks in front of Parliament. Much cheaper than leaving them in the water where they can get rusty.

#3 IIRC these were the upgraded subs here in San Diego for joint ASW training exercises with the Navy. It's somewhere in the RB archives
