I know that you guys had a news article up on the home page about this a while back but I figured that I may as well update everybody on the conclusion.

The three remaining Oberon class subs are leaving Halifax Harbor.

HMCS Ojibwa will be preserved as a museum in Port Burwell, ON
HMCS Okanagan will be scrapped, along with ex-HMS Olympus likely at Port Maitland (which if I am not mistaken was where they scrapped the HMCS Fraser last year, real shame)

This basically concludes the saga of the "reserve" ex-navy ships that spent years tied up at Halifax Harbor in mothballs.
