Tech to Make Oceans ‘Transparent’ Will Mean Nuclear Subs Can’t Hide
13th September 2025
British nuclear-armed submarines will be detectable in the future with the development of technology designed to make the oceans transparent, a top Canadian military chief has warned.
In an interview with The Times, Vice-Admiral Angus Topshee, commander of the Royal Canadian Navy, said the military needed to prepare for a scenario where the oceans are “effectively transparent and submarines are no longer allowed to hide”.
He said such a prospect threatened to “destabilise [the] nuclear deterrent” and that it was “sensible” to have the ability to fire or drop nuclear weapons from other platforms in addition to submarines.’
Are you scared yet? That appears to be his plan.
Finally, at the NINTH PARAGRAPH, we get some actual information:
European defence companies are already developing technology designed to track enemy submarines posing a threat to the West. Autonomous mini-hunter submarines that can lurk under the sea for months on end will be able to use artificial intelligence to detect and identify sounds that could betray the presence of a sub — part of the new Lura system, developed by Helsing, a European defence company. Experts believe this system will effectively “illuminate” the oceans and make the hunt for Russian submarines much easier.
Experts believe! That proves it! Actually, sound has been the vulnerable point for submarines for decades, and everybody is working to make subs quieter and quieter. Those efforts will not cease.
And, of course, the Israelis were banned from participating because … well, reasons.
