HMCS Ojibwa (S72)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
HMCS Ojibwa (S72) was an Oberon class submarine in the Royal Canadian Navy, later Canadian Forces. Built Chatham Dockyard.
Laid down 27 September 1962, launched 29 February 1964.
Commissioned 23 September 1965 at Halifax.
Decommissioned in 1998.
Spent most of service life in the Atlantic, but for part of 1997 was on the coast of British Columbia.
In May 2005, the Halifax Chronicle-Herald announced that the Royal Canadian Navy was looking to sell Ojibwa for scrap metal, along with three other Canadian Oberons. The RCN's disposal co-ordinator stated that the submarines were not in suitable condition to be used as museum ships, and predicted that each submarine would sell for between C$50,000 and C$60,000.
