HMCS Victoria (SSK 876) at Canada Place

HMCS VICTORIA’s displacement is approximately 2,200 tons surfaced and 2,400 tons submerged. Covered in anechoic tiles to reduce her detection by active SONAR, HMCS VICTORIA is 70.3 meters long, 7.6 meters across the beam and has a deep diving depth in excess of 200 meters.

The main hull is constructed of high tensile steel sections stiffened by circular internal frames. Equipment located outside the main hull is covered by the Casing, which also gives the crew a safe walkway when the submarine is surfaced. The Fin, which helps support the masts, serves as a kind of keel and provides a raised conning position.
