    I think the USA is a better comparison. The USA has almost 80 nuclear subs. That would be about 0.25 per million people. Australia wants 12, or about 0.5 per million people. They are smaller subs, but still it is a big ask. I believe it is doable, but it will be tough.

    Flunk tRump who deserves to encounter the absolute punishment guidelines of U.S. Constitutional law's nuclear affect when it comes to dealing with the lawlessly hacked in tyrant who is waging war against Democracy and humanity as in the articles of treason.

    Its 70, which spend a lot of time non-op, because the NAVY being incompetent got rid of too much shipyard capacity. These fuckers either cant or wont manage basic math.

    On the other hand now that these morons the Australians have decimated their economy demand for military jobs is up.

    I am not clear on who would pay for a vastly expanded military, they certainly will not be.

    maggot;
    They are nuclear powered, not nuclear capable subs, there's a huge difference. Not that dozy NZ bint Jacinda Ardern knows that.
    There's very little difference, maggot - and they can be converted to launch platforms . It's you that's dozy, you poor old misogynistic dollop.

    So Scomo's visit to Downing Street was to cook up a nuke deal to spite the French and to arrange scurrilous trade deals which scorn UK environmental concerns, eh . Typical crooked Conservatives.
    Bringing the world closer to war and climatic devastation is not LEADERSHIP maggot. It's simply the result of electing war-mongering and ecocodal dumbasses.
    " First they came for the journalists...
    We don't know what happened after that . "

    This just floated through my brain re this thread:

    'Course my son did work three
    summers as a baggage handler and
    freight loader. With those
    qualifications, why should I doubt
    his ability to run an airline?

    Figures:

    The gathering came as Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison argued that Paris was briefed about Australia's new submarine deal "the night before" the AUKUS announcement.

    And the Americans and the Brits said nothing......correct?
    Splendid, unneeded hurt feelings are just what we need.

    Rather than listen to morons like Salty, you could read this from somebody who really knows their shit.

    Why nuclear submarines are a smart military move for Australia — and could deter China further

    Re apparently blindsiding the French, who unlike almost everyone else actually have a useful military:

    "Does anyone around here know how to play this game?".

    Is B Johnson extremely stupid? The brits have PLENTY of issues with the French already, there was certainly no need to add to it.
