By the way is there any actual info on the submarine type in question, for example anything on its sonar suit?

...and in a twist of irony. The first time they (the Aussies) put their new submarine in drydock, they found this on the keel.

I thought Collins were a European venture? Still, is there a place where one could read an educated discussion about the various submarine types offered to Australia?

As a final decision on what we're getting hasn't officially been made and won't get announced until the Defence White Paper is released in March anything you look at now is officially still speculation. The kerfuffle happening now indicates that a version of the Japanese Soryu class is being preferred. http://www.naval-technology.com/proj...classsubmarin/

No word on systems yet.

We're much more advanced than that. Android FTW.

Plus, when you guys show up the US Navy at the next naval exercise, instead of playing a Men at Work song, you can play this victory song:

What am I talking about?

Aussies won't take those for the same reason they decided against trying to get LA class subs from the US: nukyular power is scary boogieman.

WE have too many greenie tree huggers to go nuke. We can't even get more than the one reactor built on dry land and that is purely for research and nuclear medicine isotope production only.

But we're one of the worlds biggest producers of Uranium, which we sell to most of the bug buyers, so go figure.

The article is sadly not very informative, for example it is not clear as to what kind of bow or flank arrays the sub actually gets. From what I could find it has two long/thin low frequency flank arrays and small aperture cylindrical bow, a fairly common set up now a days.

I do wonder though why a large aperture bow/flank arrays are not featured though, like on price 677.
