We do not hang around the Australian coastline in the shallows. As soon as a diesel pops up to breathe it is pinged by a satellite. The USN (operating in the same area) does not use diesels for a reason. Don't get me started on the distances the subs need to travel from Garden Island (home port) before even reaching theatre.

We should have bitten the bullet and bought the nuclear version (ordered by the French navy) as opposed to an inferior diesel-electric version. Rumour is the French are walking back on their pump-jet propulsion design for the diesel as they discover the energy requirements require a nuclear reactor. Unfortunately both major political parties in Australia lack the balls to purchase nuclear subs which they know are 100x better suited for our vast blue water operations. Fear of losing an election is more dire than sending our submariners into war in an inferior vessel. <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8519488391496270073.post-75831598046486584672017-12-30T19:50:41.206-05:002017-12-30T19:50:41.206-05:00Carl, your logic is flawed.

Russia within the last few years invaded Ukraine and Georgia and has stated several times that other former Soviet states should fall in line and not become part of the west. <br />So yeah, that's why.
