Well I have done some extensive Google Earth searching along the Erie and Right in the Buffalo,NY area there appears too be a Decommissioned US Navy Cruiser as well as a rather large 50's-60's era sub.

As far as Canadian subs operating in the Lakes there seems too be no mention whatsoever.
Im wondering if these drydocked or deccommisioned subs run tourist trips from time too time

It would be like teaching someone to ride a motorcycle by having them ride a bicycle.

That being said, the Great Lakes are demilitarized, with only Coast Guard type vessels allowed. It's not like Canada and the U.S. have to defend themselves from each other.

Well, not any more...that treaty demilitarising the Great Lakes came out of the War of 1812.

The US Navy has no diesel subs in commission any more.
If they did who would be training in them? Who would be operating them, as the US Navy Sub school no longer teaches diesel sub operation?
