Australian subs may be built in Japan

I'm surprised they aren't after some of our remaining T Class boats....going cheap, we can no longer afford them.

Now, immagine if Australia got German, French (other European) or worse still - Russian vessels.

So, will, they be built by Tamiya, Hasegawa, or some other kit company?...

Cool! Midget submarines.

By the way is there any actual info on the submarine type in question, for example anything on its sonar suit?

Wii?

A bottle of Fosters (Aussie word for beer if you didn't know)

We're much more advanced than that. Android FTW.

...and in a twist of irony. The first time they (the Aussies) put their new submarine in drydock, they found this on the keel.

I thought Collins were a European venture? Still, is there a place where one could read an educated discussion about the various submarine types offered to Australia?

As a final decision on what we're getting hasn't officially been made and won't get announced until the Defence White Paper is released in March anything you look at now is officially still speculation. The kerfuffle happening now indicates that a version of the Japanese Soryu class is being preferred. http://www.naval-technology.com/proj...classsubmarin/

I wonder if Australia would get a better deal with Kilos - only 360 million USD per boat.

Aussies won't take those for the same reason they decided against trying to get LA class subs from the US: nukyular power is scary boogieman.
