No more MBT’s for Canada

I think it is more like this:

Boomers = missile subs - formerly armed with nuclear-MIRV-tipped Poseidons in Cold War days, not sure what they carry now - maybe Tomahawks with a variety of warheads for different uses? (Missile subs are primarily directed at targets on land, whereas hunter-killer subs armed with a variety of torpedos prey on ships and other subs.)

Stink boats = any sub (due to long underwater patrols building up a smell in the air system). Although maybe it is used more for diesel subs than for nuke subs - at least, Thermodyne's usage implied that to me.
