off-the-shelf submarines Somehow, I don't visualize submarines as an off the shelf product.

Australia is already a sitting duck: Overpopulated China just salivates when it thinks about Underpopulated Australia, with all that land and natural resources, potential dominance over the Pacific Ocean and Antarctica, and how feeble Australia's defenses would be against China's military and economic might--without the United States, of course.
I think about this when Australians criticize and ridicule the U.S.A.--which happens very often. Sometimes I find it necessary to remind the Aussies of where they would be without the protection of the U.S.A.

I’m all for Australia arming itself as best it can manage (not that my opinion means squat, since I’m not Australian), but... umm... news flash.
Australia couldn’t defend itself against an intrusion by a “major power” no matter what it did. There simply aren’t enough Australians to mount that kind of defense.
