Even if our flagship was newer, I don't think anyone would really be afraid of the Canadian navy. We're a peacekeeping nation, not a 'peace making' one. However, if we want to intimidate people, we have to do what the Swiss did. Not fight, and just have this whole mystery and mythos about an amazing, invincible army that has really great knives. That's how to strike fear into the hearts of potential wrong-doers! Back! Back! Beware my pocket-knife!
