Submarine HMCS Windsor departs Halifax after mechanical trouble


Canada's only fully operational submarine departed Halifax Harbour Sunday after another round of mechanical trouble, Maritimes Forces Atlantic confirmed. The mechanical trouble delayed the submarine, which had scheduled a tour for international media on June 20. HMCS Windsor has been docked in Halifax for the last week for repairs to a diesel generator supercharger. Maintenance crews worked around the clock to replace a broken supercharger on HMCS Windsor, readying the submarine to head back out to sea. Only a few months ago, the Windsor cut an exercise short after crew members saw smoke when a battery cell malfunctioned.
