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.

Donor Report: Evolving Australian Naval AUV Uses

Hi Donors

I've just sent you another Donor Report titled:

"Evolving Australian Naval AUV Uses" of 30 May, 2022.

A Correction

Where I wrote modified Arafura-class offshore patrol vessel in the Report, this was incorrectly hyperlinked to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orca_(AUV).

The correct link is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arafura-class_offshore_patrol_vessel#Planning_and_design

++++++++++++++++++++++

Here is a new, very brief, May 31, article on the Orca, which half looks like a followup to my report :)
