I don't think so, as a documentary showed that there were American and British serving on the sub, and I don't think they were transfers.

Just a question,
Is it true all american Submarine Training
nowadays is done in the Australian waters?
with the Australian submarine Fleet?

So you mean all the Fosters we have over here is really not from over there???WTFO? Where is it made? :hmmm:

It's a bit like Carlsberg and Heineken and heaven only knows how many others....brewed worldwide under licence.

I remember telling TarJak over in Texas last October that I drank Fosters out of a can (only when in the house....and because it is quite cheap in my local supermarket) he nearly pi$$ed himself laughing and told me that very few Aussies actually drank it in their native country.

I still like to order a heineken if the bartender is a cute gal. I will say to her, "Give me your heiny, I mean a heiny please...":DL

Fosters is really hard to get hold of in Oz, most people go for Fourex (XXXX) Victoria Bitter AKA VB or Vitamin B, Tooheys or Emu Bitter AKA EB.
Cascade and Coopers are a little more upmarket.

Back when I was sneaking into pubs on my brother's drivers license I was a Reeches boy-can't even spell it anymore but cans of it were known as silver bullets.

Love to crack a longneck of Coopers Pale Ale now and then, as I can't get my hands on Dogbolter here in Japan.
