Canadian Patrol Submarine

Summary

The Canadian Patrol Submarine Project (CPSP) is a procurement initiative that began in 2021 to replace the Victoria-class submarines of the Royal Canadian Navy (RCN). The project aims to procure up to 12 submarines to enable simultaneous patrols in the Atlantic, Pacific and Arctic oceans. In August 2025, the Canadian government shortlisted two suppliers, Thyssen-Krupp Marine Systems (Type 212CD) and Hanwha Ocean (KSS-III Batch-II), and will conduct in-depth engagements with both companies.
