"Aussie sub sinks US warship off Hawaii"

And I thought they were our allies?

How come this aint in the news???

To Arms! To Arms!

Attack those aussie bastards!!!!!!!

Send in the bombers!!

Crack the missile codes!

PUSH THE FRICKIN RED BUTTON!!!!




oh it was just an exercise? Sorry, my bad

Uh can we help you rebuild your country.

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

@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

A reef with all that Asbestos, lead and other harmful materials?

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]

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".
