Submarine & Other Matters

The misadventures of AUKUS robot AlboGov never cease. I publish on subs, other naval, nuclear weapons & broad political issues. Aussie sub changes are glacial: talk rather than actual new subs. The 1st Collins LOTE may secretly concern the US Combat System & be ready 2029. Trump may decide to cancel the AUKUS Virginia offer due to USN advice it needs all operational SSNs right through to the 2040s. My colleagues Shawn C and Gessler are excellent writers. Pete.

France’s Submarine Development and the Shortfin

Models of a Triomphant class SSBN (left) and a Barracuda/Suffren class SSN. They have, and in future shall continuously contribute to, what will be the Shortfin SSK. (Photo courtesy DCNS).

I've been neglecting my South China Sea (including not yet responding to Josh's, Eurowussies' and Nicky's (longer) comments) duties while writing and sending Submarine Matters Report France’s Submarine Development and the Shortfin to donors, this evening.

It being midnight here-now I'll respond later this morning.

Donors, please check you spam bins, just in case my email to you has ended up there.

Regards

Pete
