Default GOvernment cost cutting

In regards to the submarines the Cdn gov has decided to continue the trend to get rid of army personnel and tender out services. This has proven effective in the past , like when having no heavy sea lift capability we had half our armoured vehicles stuck out in the middle of the Atlantic steaming in circles while the ships owners wanted more cash. Also, in catering food services in combat areas also, there have been 'relatively' few food posionings and the increased blandness has all but ended heartburn and overeating in the ranks.
So they have tendered the services of The West Edmonton Mall and their 6 submarines. Three will be on active patrol at all times while the other three will be in for maintenance and tourist trips. The three are steaming up the Peace river - Athabascan Delta-Slave river-Great Slave lake-Mackenzie River and into the Arctic ocean for deployment as we speak. The submarines have a 100% safety and service record.
