There are several hundred available at the bottom of the Atlantic.

Germany Does Not Have One Working Submarine

We don't have one either. We have a bunch of them.

Our European allied navies are in rough shape overall. They’ve relied too much on the US the last 50 years. It seems their defense budgets have been plundered for welfare.

The old joke used to be ‘How do you sink a Polish submarine?’ The answer was, ‘put it in water.’

The new joke is ‘How do you sink a British submarine?’ The answer is, ‘you can’t, there is no such thing as a British submarine!’

They’ve been riding on the backs of American taxpayers for 70 years.

Instead of buying costly aircraft carriers and submarines Germany saves their money to spend on welfare and feebies to enntice muslim terrorists to move to Germany and rape their women.

Maybe we can send the one in that Chicago museum back if we’re not using it ...

I should think this would cause great loss of face for the Germans, with their prideful efficiency. Or maybe that’s changed.

In the town where I was born,
And he told us of his night,
In a four wheel submarine.

So we drove out to the bridge,
Till we found a sea of green,
Where she died beneath the waves,
In his four wheel submarine.

And our friends are all aboard,
Many more of them live next door,
And the party just goes on...

MaryJo died in a four wheel submarine,
Four wheel submarine, four wheel submarine.
MaryJo died in a four wheel submarine,
Four wheel submarine, four wheel submarine.

Full speed ahead, Mr. Kennedy, full speed ahead
Full speed ahead it is,
Get the lawyer, get the lawyer,
Aye, aye, sir, aye, aye
Captain, captain

And we live a life of ease
Every one of us has all we need
Whiskey gold and money green
And we forget that submarine

MaryJo died in a four wheel submarine,
Four wheel submarine, four wheel submarine.
MaryJo died in a four wheel submarine,
Four wheel submarine, four wheel submarine.

They are like Canada. I don’t think we have a working submarine either. Those diesel ones we bought from Britain were duds.

The culprit for the lengthy delays? Since the end of the Cold War, the Deutsche Marine ceased maintaining a comprehensive supply of spare parts as a cost-cutting measure, instead procuring parts on demand or looting them from nonoperational boats.

Maybe they would have enough money available for the spare parts if they evicted a few million Muslim free-loaders from Das Reich?

Their submarine fleet is substandard.

The west is falling for advanced over reliable in the military equipment arena. Add onto it the 30 plus statements (safety, security, maintainable, sustainable, quality, verification .... ) all part of the bloated material release process. We need to have both advanced cutting edge and simple but brutal in the inventory. JMHO. Quantity has a quality of its own.

Imagine a simple sturdy and thousands CAS planes in conjunction with the advanced tech mixed in. Talk about shock and awe.

I keep expecting drones to do that or fill that void.

Sounds like he wasn't a history major. There was a period in the 1920s when the Germans didn't have any operational boats.

Given their history, that’s probably for the best.

The first law of submarines: The number of surfaces has to equal the number of dives + 1.

Maybe Frau Merkel should cut the pay to her Muslim shock troops. Germany has mostly surrendered already.
