In one of the biggest and most contentious defence equipment decisions in decades, the Abbott Government will select the Japanese-built Soryu Class submarine to replace locally built Collins Class boats as the navy’s key strike weapon beyond 2030.
20 miljardia aussi taalaa (14.3 miljardia euroa) 10stä jaappanilaisesta sukellusveneestä kaikilla herkuilla on aika helvetin paljon sukellusvene laivastosta.

Jotkut sanovat että sukellusveneillä on paremmat sapuskat kuin muilla. En vain olisi uskonut että heillä on mukana myös grilli ja kilokaupalla makkaroita.
Mikä paatti ja miltä vuodelta?

Besserwisser-asenteella ja jälkiviisauden järkähtämättömällä tyyneydellä kuittaan tähän että juuri noin, tietenkään kyseessä ei voinut olla USAlainen sukellusvene. No miksikö? No tarpeeksi monta leffaa nähneenä, jenkit olisivat grillanneet jauhelihapihvejä purilaisiin. Ja yksi kannella olisi ollut pukeutunut kokin tamineisiin. (hymiöitä perään)@peelo @ctg
Grilling on Top of a Moving Submarine

Redditor shanbuscus offers this photo of his dad on top of HMAS Onslow, a diesel submarine operated by Australia's navy from 1968 to 1999. It's now on display and open to visitors at the Australian National Maritime Museum in Sydney.
In the comments, other redditors who were submariners describe at great length what submarine air smells like after a lengthy cruise.

The potent-looking vessel can serve as a unmanned underwater vehicle or a manned swimmer-delivery system. The battery-powered Proteus can carry six combat swimmers 350 to 700 nautical miles, depending on the type of battery used, according to USG officials.
http://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/...blower-on-run-alleged-trident-safety-failingsThe police and Royal Navy are hunting for a whistleblower who is on the run after publishing a dossier of alleged security failings on board Trident nuclear submarines.
Able Seaman William McNeilly, 25, a newly qualified engineer, claimed that Britain’s nuclear deterrent was a “disaster waiting to happen” in a report detailing 30 alleged safety and security breaches.
He wrote that a chronic manpower shortage meant that “it’s just a matter of time before we’re infiltrated by a psychopath or a terrorist; with this amount of people getting pushed through”.
The Ministry of Defence has launched an investigation into the claims, published in a 19-page report titled The Secret Nuclear Threat, which it said contained a “number of subjective and unsubstantiated personal views ... with which the Naval Service completely disagrees”.
McNeilly, from Newtownabbey, near Belfast, was due to report back for work at the weekend in Faslane sumbarine base on the Clyde but has since been reported missing. Royal Navy chiefs and civilian police are searching for the seaman.
In the report, published online alongside a picture of his UK passport and Royal Navy identity card, McNeilly said he wanted “to break down the false images of a perfect system that most people envisage exists”.
He described bags going unchecked and that it was “harder getting into most nightclubs” than into control rooms, with broken pin code systems and guards failing to check passes. “All it takes is someone to bring a bomb on board to commit the worst terrorist attack the UK and the world has ever seen,” he wrote.
The 25-year-old said he raised these and other concerns through the chain of command on multiple occasions, but that “not once did someone even attempt to make a change”.
The whistleblower also revealed that there had allegedly been a fire in the missile compartment when the vessel was in harbour. He claimed the blaze was sparked by overheated cables setting light to stacks of toilet roll. “The chief said if it had been at sea there would’ve been about 50 dead bodies on three deck because of the amount of people struggling to find an emergency breathing system,” he claimed.
Angus Robertson, the Scottish National party leader in Westminster, described the claims as extremely concerning and said the allegations add weight to calls to scrap Trident altogether.
He said: “It reads as a nightmare catalogue of serious safety breaches aboard and alongside these nuclear-armed submarines ... Shortages of all types of crew on these submarines has been well-documented and the description of personnel in extremely stressful situations most be alarming given the huge responsibility some of these sailors are given.
“Failure to follow standard safety procedures is unacceptable in any workplace but on a Vanguard submarine on patrol it could result in extreme tragedy not just for those on board but indeed for the entire planet.”
A Royal Navy spokeswoman said on Monday that the service completely disagreed with McNeill’s assessment, describing the report as containing “a number of subjective and unsubstantiated personal views”.
The spokeswoman said it was right for the allegations to be investigated but that the publishing of the report did not pose a security risk. She added: “The Royal Navy takes security and nuclear safety extremely seriously and we are fully investigating both the issue of the unauthorised release of this document and its contents.
“The naval service operates its submarine fleet under the most stringent safety regime and submarines do not go to sea unless they are completely safe to do so.”
