Yes. the Royal Canadian Navy maintained a submarine arm in both world wars. interestingly Canadian subs were code-named after Indian Tribes. this can be taken without reservation- pun intended. It is understood they still are. The modern RCN has only conventional ( Diesel electric) submarine, not atomic ones. the RN ( British) has nuclear subs, as does France. the only allied countries having atomic subs other than the US are Britain and France. Sorry, Fair Italy does not have any atomic subs, but they have a neat conventional arm. an Italian built sub held the world depth record in a controlled plunge in the late forties. The Bathyscaphe-X went down l0,334 feet- this was way., way ahead of it"s time. Craft was crafted byNavalmeccanica in Italy.

Did the Japanese use submarines in World War 2?
The Imperial Japanese Navy started World War II with one of the largest submarine forces in the world. Despite the sinking during the war of several major U.S. warships by Japanese submarines, the Japanese were never able to effectively employ their submarines to any great extent. Japanese submarines tended to operate alone and were directed toward tactical gains. The United States, in contrast, employed wolf packs, embraced new technology, and engaged in a campaign of strategic submarine warfare. On Dec. 7, 1941, during the attack on Pearl Harbor, there where 3 Japanese submarines stationed in a picket line 100 miles forward of the carriers. They were the I-23, I-21, and I-19. There are even rumors of Japanese subs patrolling the East Coast during the war.
Are there any battery powered submarines around?
All submarines have storage batteries. Diesel-electric boats like the ones used during World War II are still used by the navies of some countries. Nuclear-powered submarines also have storage batteries that are used as a backup power supply if and when the sub loses the use of its steam-powered electric generators.
Does the Canadian navy currently possess or have plans to build or purchase any nuclear powered surface vessels or submarines?
It is doubtful. Canada has never had nuclear powered ships or subs. the current submarines (victoria class) were acquired from the UK and are desiel powered. Canada does not have any plans in the future for any nuclear power vessels.

Most early nuclear-powered submarines were named after World War II submarines. The first generation of nuclear-powered ballistic submarines were named after famous Americans. Most Los Ageles-class fast attack submarines are named after U.S. cities, with the exception of the USS Hyman G. Rickover. Most Ohio-class guided missle and ballistic missile submarines are named after U.S. states, with the USS Henry M. Jackson being the exception. The Virginia-class fast attack submarines are mostly named after U.S. states. The lone exception as of January 2011 is the John Warner, which is expected to be delivered in 2015.
