Unbelievably stupid decision! Just for getting SA out of a hole?? Who knows?
But if we really want deterrence - hey much cheaper to have nuclear weapons as a deterrent!
There will most likely be massive cost overruns and at the end of it - more than likely a product like the Collins Class where usually one is out at sea and the others requiring service! A bit of an exaggeration but you get the picture!
By the way if we really wanted it for deterrence - we could have bought the 12 fully built for half the cost!! But nah - gotta provide employment for the SA's because we might lose some seats otherwise?????
