Greg Combet discussed this with the US Submarine league. The project is called SEA 1000. The design work has to be finished and on paper by 2012. The combat systems are all that will have US consulted input. Probably will be built in Adelaide. The Submarine Institute of Australia can probably give you more details as time goes by. From what I gather the boat will be built upon the Collins class technology already being used as far as the boats over all hull design and propulsion is concerned. I am sure there will be some neat changes though to incorporate some other VLS concerns. They keep talking about having an expanded range submarine but refuse to go with nuclear power???
