How much to refit the Collins class subs to get another decade out of them?
What can I say?
I’m cheap.

Well, that was certainly cheaper but do all the instruction have to be in Japanese?

It’s hard to know who to believe - I was talking to someone from Australian Sub Corp last night and their take on it was that they did have real and major initial design problems but that they were fixed and that now it is an extremely reliable unit. I would actually love to hear from somebody who served on them.

Im sure Electric boat or Newport News Ship Building would love to get a contract to build those subs.

Home-built submarines deemed too expensive, too riskySo, I guess I should give up on that submarine I'm building in my back yard and should go back to building birdhouses. Too risky.
