There is also sailing time per year which varies - some navies get more than others

Or a valid case could be made that the experience gained in joint duty gives US submariners a better understanding of other platform capabilities, operations, strengths, and weaknesses and how they can be exploited thus making them better submariners.... so that example could be viewed either way.
Regarding sailing times. What are the sailing time differences between the navies?
Those differences sound pretty trivial. Got anything more concrete?
