Astute Subamarine unbeatable?

crocodile · 10-26-10, 12:14 PM

Hello I read the very few upadates and infos regarding this incredible submarine. Okey few days ago due to a human error it experienced some trouble but what I wanted to ask, since I'm not in any way an expert in Naval Warfare is : if this sub is really "invincible-unbeatable-undetectable" according to Royal Navy reports, well this is like the end of possible Naval Warfare when this technology will spread throughout the years and other Navies will get something at least similar to this? Or is it something like with the fighter F-22 that was supposed to be invincible and undetectable until it happened that in training a much older aircraft in a possible dogfight situation and with an expert pilot could have downed that expensive aircraft?

She looks good, and I think she has good capacity and capability,

Just for a laugh I've put in Bernard + Astute in Google and the top entry included this paragraph:

Dr Tony Rodger became president for “Oklahoma!”, and Bernard Phillips became chairman for “Showboat”. Under Bernard’s astute leadership, the company made excellent progress and his death after he had steered the company through twelve shows was a severe blow. Freddie Walker stepped in temporarily to see the Arcadians through a difficult period, before handing over the chairmanship to Bob Smith.

Alles klar

Nothing is invincible, but she is rather good, when driven in the right direction.

You can have all the fancy equipment in the world and still be the worst boat in the fleet. It's the crew that determines how good a boat is, not the boat itself. Therefore she is most vincible, beatable, and detectable to a better crew.

Then again if you build the best boat in the world with all the fanciest equipment... then take the crew out of the picture, well you got something dangerous indeed...

...don't think we are not heading towards that, there is talk of arming the RMMVs for the LCS.

Didn't the guy who wrote Das Boot say something like all the crew does is plug the holes in the machinery left by engineers?
