it's a strategic disaster for Australia. And as far as coastal protection goes
you tell us just how good nuclear submarines are - how stealthy they are, how long range they are, how they can go undetected for months
so - think about this ----------- how are you going to protect Sydney, Melbourne, other important ports in Australia from 'enemy' nuclear submarines --
after all - you tell us that they will be as good as invisible to us?
So, if we haven't got several diesel electrics and all we've got is 1 or 2 or whatever operational big nukes - off somewhere else -
who and what is at home with all these big bad enemy nukes surfacing in Sydney Harbour??????????
I think that Keating had the situation pinged far more accurately than anyone who brings a nuke argument
