#1 This all sounds commendable, if rather ambitious. Also sounds like the several-weeks-old Rudd Government taking credit for an advanced project begin under Howard. There may be a lot of overlap with the US program of converting SLBM subs now under way.
All very interesting. Australia had a very steep learning curve with the Collins class subs, a Swedish design, and willingness to go around again is encouraging.
