Don't forget Agropur. The Quebec Dairy Co-op that trades freely overseas and protects its market at home.

Canadian Officials Pricing Out Costs for New Sub Fleet - USNI News
The Canadian government is requesting proposals from foreign defense contractors to determine how much it can afford to expand the size of its aging conventionally-powered submarine fleet. Canada first mentioned the possibility of seeking military off-the-shelf submarines and maintenance...

Anyone else see "Saputo" and think it's a Japanese chain? Or is that just me?

Just you.
Saputo was a household name for Italo-Canadians who wanted a taste of home without paying the import costs.
Interesting. Vice-Admiral Topshee is visiting Hanwha.

I'm not aware of him having visited any of the other potential suppliers, but perhaps this is the beginning of a tour to do so?

Just a stupid question here: If the Lieutenant on the right of the picture is the Admiral's ADC, then who the hell is the Captain on the left the ADC to?

Hard to tell from the quality of the picture, but I'm going to guess that you're actually looking at a Colonel on the left, likely the Korean defence attache.

OK. That would make sense. Thanks.
And there are the red tabs.

I think you're correct. The 2IC for the defence attache is usually a Cdr position as well (as they provide the naval insight).
Pretty slick that Hanwha staff all have Legion poppies on. These folks are really rolling out the full effort and shows extreme attention to detail. I also agree that they will probably be able to meet the IOC well before the deadline. Wouldn't be surprised if they let us jump in their own production line to get the first sub in place quickly.Interesting. Vice-Admiral Topshee is visiting Hanwha.

Well, I am a sailor from the heydays before Executive Curl was back, and pips and crowns and everything nice for soldiers: Ain't got a clue what red tabs on an Army uniform mean. Moreover, Army uniforms are so cluttered with stuff that I bet Army people don't even know what they all are.
I agree with Underway: The Koreans would be so happy at having an external customer for its subs, especially from a Western democracy, that they would bend over backwards to overdeliver (and unlike other yards that shall remain nameless, you probably wouldn't find anything in the plumbing or ducting that doesn't belong - and everything would run smoothly the first time it is used).

From the Korean announcement above.
Not the first Korean-Canadian joint venture.

By the way STX was Kvaerner and is now Vard.

That leapt out at me as well. The SK are experienced defense system sellers and exporters. They are not heavily protectionists about their industry and will adapt their programs and design to meet the customers needs. The Japanese have no experience in this part of the industry. The Germans are likley to rigid and the French unreliable.
If we get the KS-III, I foresee South Korea becoming a significant defense partner, who would help us beef up our defense industry and supply us with various equipment.

Germans were very accomodating with JSS. I can see a Korean submarine cooperation and a German surface fleet cooperation maybe with the MCDV "replacement". See my post elsewhere on the Germans using CMS 330 so it goes both ways.
