All I'm asking for in #50 and in response to the comment made in #48 is evidence to back up a firm statement.

If I'd stated the Astute class is the most lethal stealth equipped offensive weapon under the oceans surface (which some would attest to and bearing in mind it's abysmal track record thus far) I would expect to be challenged.

There are submersible platforms out there, most noticeably US and UK who have been tried and tested in 'the real world'....the world in which they were designed to operate in who have aquitted themselves extremely well.

I remember living in Holland during the gulf war and hearing similar statements from my Dutch friends and colleagues but they never had an answer when asked to prove why they considered their subs to be the best.

'No track record' springs to mind.
