Massive damage suffered by Canadian warships on routine exercise

We need to spend our money on the betterment of our own stuff here in Canada and not send taxpayers' money to hellholes.  The repairs to these two warships will run into several millions of dollars. 
Towing exercises is what caused the collision.  If  WW3 intensifies in the next few weeks or months and we have to join in with the merry band, whether we like it or not,  we will have to do so  minus 2 warships.  

From CTVNews:
....Two Canadian warships are returning   to port in Esquimalt, B.C. after colliding during an exercise while en route to Hawaii.
The Canadian Navy said an investigation into the collision between HMCS Algonquin and HMCS Protecteur will be launched, and a Board of Inquiry will make recommendations on how to prevent similar accidents in the future.
"The Royal Canadian Navy will be conducting an investigation into this unfortunate incident in order to determine exactly what happened," Commodore Bob Auchterlonie, Commander of Canadian Fleet Pacific, said in a statement released by the Department of National Defence on Saturday.
The accident occured Friday morning while the warships were conducting towing exercises, which require close-quarters manoeuvring.............
