SMoking Submarine scares Sydneysiders...
 

OMG polluters! :o Get Algore on the phone! ;)

I like the bit in the story about the "Ageing" sub :o , must be abit of a suprise for the RAN to hear that collins class sub's are ageing seeing most of them are less than 10years old.

So much for stealth! Looks like they're are fueled with whale oil!

Well, at least it's afloat!

Where's Stewy! I sense some Collins-bashing on the way :up: :lol:

Yeah but we would get our revenge with Sub Command, SCXIIc, and the sub changer utility. :lurk:

I remember those one liners we threw at our Aussie friends about the Collins. :rotfl::rotfl:

'Wonder how long it would take to check them out in the archives?

I'd have thought their concerns/shock had nothing to do with the smoke, but more to do with the fact they'd never seen one moving before :lol:

I hear he's on his way in his paddling boat, should take about six months to a year. :lol:

:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

I got a neighbor with a old Buick that smokes more than that sub.

He calls it a CLASSIC

I call it a piece of S**T

LOL :lol:

I certainly woulda been stunned to see it moving.. jaw-dropper that!

I'm a tad confused by the story, if it was moving between Garden Is and Jervis Bay, why was it off the northern beaches?? southern i can understand, but not northern?

if the collins is aging now, what'll it be in 15 od years when they're due for retirement?!?

This is just a perfect sum up of how un-proffesional and incompetant reporting on defence is in Australia, never more than whren reporting on the subs.

"ageing" my @rse.

And Channel 9 breaking into regular programming to show live footage from its chopper of a "submarine on fire", somebody's head should roll.

And all your collins bashing jokes dont help, they are stupid, and ad fuel to these "journalists" cr@p stories. Go smoke some pole.


They may have got it wrong about coming from JB. Or the subs may have just been doing racetracks and stooging off the coast waiting to enter the harbour late morning.
