DeepBlue Forum 2021

Babcock is delighted to announce our partnership with Vanguard Magazine to sponsor the 2021 DeepBlue submarine forum, a hybrid event, hosted October 28th to the 29th.   

As one of Canada’s leading submarine sustainment experts we are proud to support this forum which will provide government, military and industry with a platform to learn about new trends, discuss emerging and disruptive technology and forecast new developments in the underwater domain. The conference is more than a submarine event, it is about the operation in the underwater domain in the Arctic and in Canada’s coastal and maritime regions.  

This forum is an opportunity to explore Canada’s excellence in the submarine and underwater domain, as well as explore the latest trends, challenges, and how to overcome them. This year’s theme is, Canadian Submarine Design and Technology Considerations: Today and 20 Years Into the Future.
