New Aussie submarine made by France have increased to $89 billion now, page-37

Its being claimed with repairs and maintenance this will well exceed over 200 plus Billion dollars....

While if we start a new contract with Japan and their New Generation of Submarines.....

Australia could get 12 submarines for about 20 billion US dollars then costs for repairs and maintenance....

This is a quarter or less for the French ordered submarines.. ( a massive difference in price) for 12 Submarines.....

Plus Australia can not wait for the submarines from 2030 to 2050.....We need more Submarines now, that China is flexing its muscles in sea lanes
and territory gains around the Indo- Pacific and china sea..... which is our neighbourhood.
