CM,

Something along those lines would be good. America does have laid up subs, but their condition is unknown. I would prefer to get something from the Brits so that we could have proper English spelling on everything. Whatever happens, we should not try building ourselves. The Collins were a make work scheme, not a lot to do with defence.

Heads the size of a pin? That big?

Another example of the folly of war.
Paul1405,
Yet deep down you're cursing that "your" people didn't manage to fight a war to keep those dreaded invaders from Europe out !

shonkymister,

What war did you volunteer for? Most likely a conservative coward like the rest of them, including Menzies and Howard. Menzies refused to volunteer for WWI, although almost all young men of his age did so at the time, and Menzies was a vocal supporter of that war. Howard like Menzies dodged military service, in Howard's case Vietnam, a war he was a vocal supporter of. COALITION COWARDS, talk big about war, but never fight one themselves, China being today case, they always find others to be the cannon fodder.

ttbn,
If you want English spelling then go American English, American English is a repository of English spellings,
Example: Centre as used in Australia is a French spelling, ‘center’ as used in the US is one of Webster’s reforms and is more logical, however a good example of the US retention of an English spelling is ‘programme’(Fr.) used in English and ‘program’ as used by the US.
Thankfully we don’t use ‘doctour’ anymore but have reverted to the English spelling.
however we still use ‘labour’ instead of ‘Labor’ (except in the name of that party).

tt's Question: "Are Australian Nuclear Submarines A Myth?"

Answer: We'll only know in 2040 or later when/if such a sub is launched.
___________

But looking at the bright/dark side.

Come the next Federal Election (in about early April 2022) if Labor wins and the anti-nuclear Greens have the balance of power - the whole Aus Nuk Sub plan may be scuttled early.

Pete,

I was going to say, 'will China wait until 2040' , or something like that; then I read the second bit and thought, 'if that happens, we will have Chinese submarines here'. No Coalition, no Labor. The Greens would simply amalgamate with the CCP.
