Submarine Matters

I publish on subs, other naval, nuclear weapons & broad political issues. Aussie sub changes are slow: talk since 2009 rather than actual new subs. On the Collins LOTE 2028-2040 see https://www.asa.gov.au/sites/default/files/documents/2024-10/CollinsClassLOTE-Factsheet.pdf . Trump may decide to cancel the AUKUS Virginia offer due to USN advice the USN needs all operational SSNs through to the 2040s to mainly face China. Gessler & Shawn C are excellent contributors.

Spain's new S-80 Plus submarine 'too big for its dock'

Mainly see https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-44871788

Also see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S-80-class_submarine for the S-80’s broader problems and specs.
