“I think being able to showcase using cutting-edge Canadian technology – being our sonar systems and underwater vehicles – to actually find and resurrect cutting edge Canadian technology… I think it’s an amazing example of what we can do as Canadians looking back at our history,” said David Shea.

Though the team was able to locate the 9 prototypes in just 12 days of span they still had to wait until 2018 before they could bring out the amazing Arrow prototypes in front of the world. But what was the wait? There was a reason.
