Kilo vs Trafalgars, or Strong Resolve

[LoBlo]

I've never quite understood the origin of this "our training is superior" attitude that most British forces present. "Better trained" has become almost a catch phrase amongst UK advocates, but what supports that claim?

You can't tell me that the methods used by the British sub forces are much different than seen in any other modern western navy. No doubt that the French are using top notch training methods with the use of top notch simulators, training software, exercises, drills, and qualifications. German submarines are no doubt using top quality tatics and training methods as well, as are the US, Dutch, and Australian forces. Human psychology and learning tatics probably don't vary much either.

So where does this claim that UK training is better than French, German, Australian, or any other navy come from? What supports it? Its more reasonable to believe that the command and crews of any modern navy have more than likely received comparably rigorous, viligent training with equal competance.
