Sub completes mission on second try: ‘The boat’s living up to its obligations’
HALIFAX — Canada’s only fully operational submarine returned to its Halifax port Tuesday after completing a voyage to Scandinavian waters on its second attempt.
HMCS Windsor spent about 53 days at sea for a North Atlantic Treaty Organization exercise off Norway dubbed “Dynamic Mongoose.”
Windsor first headed out in early June, but had to turn back because of diesel engine problems. It docked in Halifax for more than a week before resuming its voyage.
Lt.-Cmdr. Peter Chu, the sub’s commanding officer, said Windsor’s mechanical issues were “manageable.”
