that's what we should have done with the Clemenceau instead of a costly dismantling , bring it off the cost and send it two or three torps to make it a reef for the fishes

Don't you just love it:

"For Australia in particular, this exercise has been a successful demonstration of the ongoing capability of the Collins Class submarine," Mr Fitzgibbon said.

A ship lying at anchor and a submarine class plagued with technical problems since it's building.

Not to mention the difficulty in finding enough qualified crew to sail them. :hmm:

Sorry TJ mate....couldn't resist :lol: :up:

@jpm1

Probably no need to waste any torps on her mate....she'd have probably scuttled herself at the first hint of a warship approaching :rotfl:

Just a friendly joke fellas...bored on a Sunday morning and all that ;)

Considering it took thirty years for the US Navy to say sorry for shooting up Sydney harbour in WW2, a little payback was in order!:)

I agree with you. At least they know that the torpedo launch systems work though!:rotfl:

baggygreen 07-27-08 10:02 PM

the next question, is can the torp systems launch with a crew of 7???

Thats about all they've got...

If i wasn't marrying such a family-oriented lass, and not already a reservist, and not about to become a national level umpire, then i'd go the civvy-entry into subs!

;)

And another thirty to actually initiate it. Man, for those guys revenge really is "a dish best served cold".
