The AWD looks to be a very impressive capability on paper, leaves the FFG's in its dust just the way it should be.

I don't know much about her capabilities, but she sure looks tough!

Despite the cost overruns and the build faults, this ship will serve the Navy for 30 years and do it well.
It will also deliver a quantum leap in terms of capability with that 3D phased array radar, Aegis system and the new 'Romeo' Seahawks. We should get more of them built.

Interesting article, didnt realise the Japanese subs are a generation older than the Collins.
http://www.aspistrategist.org.au/why...bout-option-j/ News that some Liberal MPs are getting very nervous about an offshore build. Probably a lot of angry emails so far. |

I was controlling Seahawks 25 years ago, yes Romeo would be an update. Perhaps like BA to BF.... :-) Hopefully it all works out. Still pity the poor buggers that serve on it and the crap trips they get to do do, unlike when we spent nine months of each year partying around South East Asia :-)

And now Andrew " Knobhead" Bolt reckons he is an authority on Submarine technology. Complete and utter rubbish peddled by Rabbits best friend. This guy has either forgot his medication or completely lost the plot. Moron.

He does make a valid point re: capability. Can we build a capable sub? I know the Collins won some wargames, but can we make something that will cut it in actual combat?

Still think we should build our own subs but i like this idea more than just getting them from Japan. I have a feeling that the Gov will just end up doing what the US want and go with Japan but.

I agree that we'll go with the Japanese because there'll be a lot of pressure to do so. ![]() |

Forget nationalism. Pay TKMS to build them. Get the best final product.
Find another way to employ the masses (the education system is the root of the problem). |

Could turn into a money spinner for Adelaide long after the last sub is built.
