She looks in bad shape.

I'm glad we built the Collins class subs here in Australia, they may have had problems, but all of them are in service. Now if we could just get the crews to run them....:hmm:

I question the statement that synchrolifts have supplanted traditional dry docks, but I don't have any research to back up my position.

The little blue huts all in a row there house the winches for the synchrolift. To the left there is a large shed for sliding the subs into for extended work. I'm not sure why they leave the sub exposed to the elements. Maybe, being newer than the shed, it just doesn't fit.
