Brits sell Canada a used submarine.......Sub catches fire on way home...

Sorry Canada - perhaps you might like to invest in some slightly newer technology?

"High winds and heavy seas are hampering efforts to rescue a Canadian submarine drifting without power 120 miles off the Irish Republic's north-west coast...

The accident happened as the submarine was travelling to Canada after being officially handed over to its new owners by the Royal Navy on Saturday...

A Canadian Navy spokesman said the sailors were "getting tossed to and fro something crazy." "

Well, I suppose they've got to kill time somehow?
