Australia to build world’s most lethal submarines

According to Subsim's World Naval News, there's a big storm brewing Down Under over the next gen of Aussie subs. The Defence Minister has targeted $25 billion for this, and some are pushing for nukes to replace the current six diesel boats, while others are insistent that the Aussie sub force remain conventional. For that kind of money, Australia should be able to build nuke fast attacks that are not surface dependant, possibly eight or ten.
