Why Australia needs Australian submarines
A convincing article. I’m convinced, Now convince me why they need to be nuclear.
Where do we store the waste? Why we need to buy them from the US?
Most importantly, why have we waited until the locally made product was so far past its use-by-date that we find ourselves in our current dilemma?
Looks to me like our ADF and politicians have got it very wrong, given a lifecycle of 25 years before major refit. That’s five LNP and three Labor governments and a lot of generals who haven’t done their well-paid jobs.
