加拿大选择德国 TKMS 购买历史性潜艇，向欧洲致敬
该公司提供了正在为德国和挪威建造的 212CD 型潜艇，击败了韩国韩华海洋公司的竞标。
来源:美国国防新闻网__海军VICTORIA, British Columbia – A German shipbuilder has won the competition for the largest defense procurement in Canadian history, beating out a South Korean firm on the project to build 12 new submarines.
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney announced July 6 that TKMS has been selected as the winning bidder in the country’s project to acquire the new boats.该公司向加拿大提供了212CD型潜艇，该潜艇正在为德国和挪威建造。
Carney did not provide a dollar figure on the submarine project but noted the deal is expected to be the largest defense procurement in the country’s history.据估计，如果考虑到船只整个使用寿命期间的长期维护、新基础设施、武器和其他因素，整个项目的成本可能高达 700 亿美元（1000 亿加元）。
Negotiations with TKMS will begin shortly with a contract expected to be in place by the end of the year.
TKMS beat out a bid from Hanwha Ocean, which was offering its KSS-III submarine.
“This was a difficult, close decision between two highly qualified suppliers,” Carney said in making the announcement in Halifax, Nova Scotia. “TKMS 和韩华平台都满足了加拿大皇家海军的极高能力，并且都提出了强有力的建议，以最大限度地提高加拿大工人和企业的利益。”
“These subs will strengthen our defense industrial base, they will deepen our partnerships with trusted allies, and they will open new opportunities for Canadian businesses in European supply chains,” he added.
The new submarines will replace the Royal Canadian Navy’s aging Victoria-class submarines. Government officials said the first submarine is expected in 2033 with three more hopefully being delivered in 2034.
“In the end, this decision was about choosing the absolute best platform and partnership to meet Canada’s combined strategic, security and economic interests,” Carney said.
