I'm currently re-reading this:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Buccaneers-O...3347638&sr=8-1

In the Carrier Operations chapter names like HMS Eagle, Victorious, Ark Royal and Hermes rekindle a lot of memories for me when I was a youngster

It's been quite a few years since our mob (RAN) has had a fixed wing FAA capability. Can't see that changing either even with the Chinese launch.

Mind you a Collins class should be able to knock it out if it got too near.

The crew that can read a map and knows difference between shallow water and too shallow water may somewhat improve submarine's navigation capabilities.
