A top Canadian navy official is defending the purchase of second-hand British submarines. Ottawa and the navy have faced criticism for buying four used diesel submarines, which cost Canada $750 million to acquire and modify.

Canada bought the four second-hand Upholder class subs from Britain four years ago. Last week the navy announced the submarines had been sidelined because of cracks discovered in one vessel.

But, Vice-Admiral Ron Buck, Chief of Maritime Staff, said Saturday the submarines were well worth the money.

"Absolutely a good buy. We paid less than a quarter of the cost of what it would have cost to construct submarines on our own," said Buck.

The cracks were found on valves in HMCS Chicoutimi, which is still in England.

The navy will conduct an investigation into whether the other three vessels it bought have similar problems.

Meh, valve cracks ain't surprising. That's why they have redundancy.

We painted over the hull cracks... Low mileage, full service history, one careful owner...

Conscientious to paint the inside of a valve.

Meh, no jet ski ramp.

This is the one you want then, Zilla. Mega-ramp!

Have you ever seen the Ski-Doo needed for a 121.92 meter mutant fire-breathing lizard-thingy?
