#1 Remember, the Swedes last year put their military on 9-5 duty because of budget problems. This takes an expensive asset off their payroll and onto ours. And we get to play with one of the most advanced subs in the world.

#2 There was an instance in WWII of a British sub with a Dutch crew, operating out of Freemantle, Australia under U.S. command, sinking a German blockade runner in Japanese-controlled waters, so I suppose anything's possible.

#3 A 9-to-5 military? This is just like that old Loony Tunes cartoon where the coyote and sheepdog punch their timecards in and out each day. How bizarre.
