Built in the mid-1960s, ''Onondaga'' operated primarily with the [[Maritime Forces Atlantic]] until her decommissioning in 2000 as the last Canadian ''Oberon''. Several plans for the disposal of the submarine were made and cancelled before the [[Site historique maritime de la Pointe-au-Père]] in [[Rimouski, Quebec|Rimouski]] purchased the boat for preservation as a [[museum vessel]]. The submarine was moved into location during 2008, and is open to the public.
