                          So Canada decided to save some money by buying some used submarines from the Brits. It seemed like a great idea at the time cause everyone knows that you lose 30 per cent of the sub's value in depreciation the minute you pull away from sales dock.

                          But the Brits sold us some lemons.

                          First, we found out that one of the subs has a major dent on its hull (the Brits naturally say it must have happened after the sub left the lot).

                          Now two of the subs are in drydock with cracked engine valves.

                          Seesh, you'd think the Canadian navy would have checked this stuff out.
