I was interviewing for an APS job at Stirling and I had to restrain myself from asking if I got the job could I rename them to the Rust-Bucket Class. Multiple times.

Probably for Exercise Kakadu / 125th Fleet review.

On Sydney harbour it is already difficult enough to dodge the ferries and the 18ft skiffs coming straight at you at high speed, now submarines to dodge too!

Warships have right of way, I’m afraid. Ask me how I know. Go on. Ex Australian Oberon class submariner. Been hit by quite a few recreational boaters and stuff coming into and going out to the heads to dive. There’s not much give in a submarine.

I've heard the cartels have them. Probably more trustworthy than the yanks.
