Re: Australian Nuclear Subs.
Something that is not mentioned that cropped up a long time ago is? Both the Uk and USA will be trying to offload their older ones on to us as when they reach there used by date they become a bloody headache on how to dispose of the nuclear crap in them. Personally can not see the use of getting them in the first place. They will not be armed with nuclear weapons but will be targeted the same as if they did. Have always said that Australia's defence is simply the size of us as to bloody big to control and anyway no need to attack as our mob is doing that job real well already. The French ones are powered with non weaponary grade uranium but the others come with the full grade and harder to dispose of. The reason that the French ones where so dear was because initially they where told to take out the reactors and fit diesel into them. Just as an aside if I might be permitted. Can anyone tell me the big difference between Russia attacking the Ukrain and the UK USA and Australia attacking Iraq on a lie and leaving the whole middle east in turmoil up to the present time. If there was ever three war criminals they would be Bush, Blair and Howard for sure. How could you trust nuclear to the likes of them.
That's the way the mop flops.
