Submarine & Other Matters

I publish analysis about subs, other naval matters, nuclear weapons and broad political issues. Unlike most advanced countries Australian submarine changes are very slow. The first Collins LOTE may be limited to optronic masts (?) and only ready in 2030 (?). Triumphant Trump may decide to cancel Biden's "Democrat" AUKUS Virginia offer because the US Navy needs all operational SSNs right through to the 2040s. My colleagues Shawn C and Gessler are excellent writers. Pete

Taiwan War Shipping, Undersea Cable Shocks & Famine

The Maritime Executive has produced an excellent, though initially repeditive,

report of September 4, 2022 entitled:

"Report: Invasion of Taiwan Risks Container Shipping, Internet Cables"
Taiwan will be far worse than the Ukraine War, particularly for the US economy.
My Own Idea:
The Ukraine War has boosted a global food crisis. This would be made much worse by a war over Taiwan. Any prolonged disruption to finely balanced Northeast Asian food supplies might cause major famine in mainland China, Taiwan, Japan and the Koreas.
