The wastage on the French diesel subs was appalling. By the end of WW2 it was obvious diesel subs had no future. Too easy to spot and destroy when they come up to charge their batteries. In these days of satellites they would be sitting ducks. No amount of wishful thinking changes this.

Every country that can have nuclear subs does. Australia is in that lucky position.

The diesel subs should be bought off a production line that is making them already. It takes decades to develop the capacity and iron out the production wrinkles. The first of a kind always have problems, subsequent vessels are cheaper and better as production continues.

It is madness to use submarine building as a job creation opportunity in Australia. We don't have the skills and experience in this field. There are cheaper ways to make more suitable jobs in easier industries. The minor maintenance task is a different skill set.

The ancillary services of training schools, instruction manuals, etc should also be sourced from the supplier.

Defence should procure the best bang for bucks, not be viewed as a make work provider.

We already have one of the largest aircraft carriers in the World HMAS Australia 4000klm wide and 3000klm tall. Fill it with Drones and missiles it's unsinkable. What an awful bunch of wallies govern this place, it's appalling.
