Do you want some sare Collins class subs from Australia? We just can't get enough people to crew them!

Subs for the coats guard, isn't that a bit elaborate?
And could the USN really afford to have so many of it's submariners poached? (and rest assured, in the first decade at least, they will be) Quote:

Man, to me it seems like one a critter that sounds a lot better on paper than it would work out to be. High cost to get in the game. High cost for recruitment. High dollar training. Big money keepin' it up. Retro-fit existing CG Cutters with high speed hard lined sonobouys. Fer weepin out loud! For the manpower available and the mission the CG is at this moment doing a Doggone outstanding job. Giving them "Boats" would overtask way too many things. You want non-surface vessels patrolling territorial waters? The USN has the capability. Just make Congerss authorize funding to bring a few of the " not in Service but not ready for scrap" Boats back on the line.
Or Here's a wacky idea. Give the CG 25% of the money Diesel Boats would cost. Spend it on equal parts recruiting, training, highspeed intercept vessels, and drone A/C. You are welcome to A) Do the math. B) Call me crazy C) Both

What the hell for!?!?
To conduct a course de guerre ? Against who? To fight the drug war? A war we have yet to make any real progress in? To fight terrorism that will just find a non-naval means of infiltrating the country? Subs are expensive to maintain and I won't help to pay for coast guard subs.  Who the hell came up with this ridiculous idea!?
