Korean sub to make trans-Pacific journey for joint drills with Canada amid major bid
2026-03-25
A 3,000-ton Korean naval submarine will travel across the Pacific for the first time to take part in joint drills with Canada in June, aimed at bolstering maritime security and arms industry cooperation, the Navy said Wednesday.

The planned 14,000-kilometer journey by the ROKS Dosan Ahn Chang-ho comes as a Korean consortium is vying with Germany's Thyssenkrupp Marine Systems to win a landmark contract to supply 12 naval submarines to the Canadian navy.

The submarine is set to travel from Jinhae to Victoria in western Canada to participate in the combined drills scheduled for June, according to the Navy. It will make stops in Guam and Hawaii for replenishment, with two Canadian submariners set to join Korean crew members for the final leg of the trip from Hawaii to Victoria.
