dear Brian,
many blessings.
I hath given unto thee my advice for our country -
not that it matters much as it will not be heeded -
and this leaves us in a precarious predicament as regards
the imperialist territorial ambitions of the Chinese.

60 Minutes discussed this too:

https://www.politico.com/news/2023/07/21/top-republican-blocks-bidens-aukus-pact...

Top Republican blocks Biden’s nuclear submarine pact in bid for more defense dollars.


Wicker, despite the fact that he supports AUKUS, blocked a plan to fast-track Congress’s authorization to sell Australia three Virginia-class attack subs, a major pillar of the multinational agreement announced this year. He’s arguing that for U.S. submarine manufacturers to be able to boost production enough to supply both the U.S. Navy and Australia, the industry needs more investment from the federal government.

“It makes sense to be sure we have enough submarines for our own security needs before we endorse that pillar of the [AUKUS] agreement,” Wicker, the Senate Armed Services Committee’s ranking member, said in a brief interview. “The president needs to submit a supplemental request to give us an adequate number of submarines.”


https://antinuclear.net/2023/07/23/2-b1-us-republicans-threaten-to-block-aukus-d...

Australia’s AUKUS submarine deal with the United States has hit a hurdle with Senate Republicans threatening to block the sale
unless President Joe Biden boosts funding for the domestic production line.

Republican members of the Senate Armed Services Committee on Friday moved to block legislation which would enable the sale of US Virginia-class submarines to Australia.

Under the AUKUS deal, Washington was set to sell Canberra between three and five of its own nuclear submarines in the 2030s before Australia begins building a new class of boat with Britain.

But the ranking Republican on the Senate Armed Services Committee, senator Roger Wicker, said Biden needed to commit more money to guarantee “we have enough submarines for our own security before we endorse that pillar of the agreement”.

Wicker said Australia’s commitment of US$3 billion ($4.4 billion) for the US production line would not be enough to meet the needs of both countries.

“The president needs to submit a supplemental request to give us an adequate number of submarines,” he told US news outlet

Brian,
Quote:
The Government is already purchasing SAMs, Anti-ship missiles, AAMs and ATGWs.  Our market is too small to try and manufacture them ourselves.  Same for tanks, MICVs and most ships.


That's why I said we should be selling weapons to offset our costs.  Roll Eyes


Who says they need them, Bobby? Tsk, tsk, tsk...  Roll Eyes Roll Eyes


Other countries need weapon systems badly.
The military industrial complex is the biggest game in town -
and we are hardly in it.


We are ranked 11th or 12th in the world, Bobby.  Not bad, considering our size and the Tories attitude to us building weapons.   Tsk, tsk, tsk...   Roll Eyes Roll Eyes



You are a Tory, Bbwian


Tories
By the 1640s, the term was used in the English language to refer to dispossessed Irish Catholics. It was also used to refer to isolated Irish rebels and guerrillas resisting Oliver Cromwell's conquest of Ireland, who were allied with Cavaliers through treaty with the Parliament of Confederate Ireland. It was later used to refer to dispossessed Catholic Irish in Ulster following the Restoration. Tory was also used to refer to a rapparee and later applied to Confederates or Cavaliers in arms.

Frank,
Think of the advances that are being made in steam technology, the subs are test grounds, so to speak, for the development of quieter steam engines and how to leave less of a thermal trace from the cooling water.
Think progress.

Just in today regarding the Subs from someone in the Military I spoke to today via a lunch gathering.

America can't 'afford' to let go of 'just 3' Subs from their fleet.
Looks like the USA is going to use their x100 Get Out of Jail Free Cards to shaft Australia.

Right from the start, we should have contracted Nihon (Japan for the idiots) which would have been faster production than Germany, though slightly not as superior workmanship as Germany.
But because this caused 'offence' to many 'old diggers' who fought them in wars, etc.
We went with the hapless French and ditched them and now the USA is about to ditch us.

Stupid Australia.
