...army, like the R.C.A.F., is in the midst of a historic conversion. Always British-oriented, it is now turning toward the U.S. for a new array of weapons. To start, Canada will buy the U.S. Lacrosse, a highly mobile artillery rocket with pinpoint accuracy, send the first units to Canadian NATO forces in Germany. The army also likes the U.S. Hawk ground-to-air missile for defense against low-flying planes, wants other U.S. missiles for antitank weapons. Eventually, Canada hopes to get nuclear warheads, both for the Lacrosse missile and for the Bomarc interceptor recently adopted by the R.C.A.F...

To build the new ship, Canada will need help from the U.S., but since a Canadian icebreaker would be a major addition to joint U.S.-Canadian forces in the Arctic, Canadian planners expect Washington to give all technical assistance-and a hearty Godspeed. Most likely builder of the propulsion reactor: Hamilton's Canadian Westinghouse Co., Ltd., whose U.S. parent company built the Nautilus' reactor...
