    This isn’t a show of force, it’s a demonstration for Canada who is planning to buy a number of these submarines from France.

        to demonstrate (politely) how quickly and quietly they can appear when we need them to. without endangering anyone or raising alarms that allow trump and co to rattle their sabers
