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.

First Taiwan Built Submarine May Launch Sept 2023

It would be good news if Taiwan can launch its first Indigenous Defense Submarine (IDS) by September 2023.

Such an ambitious target is possible if the main foreign assistance is from Japanese (Kawasaki and Mitsubishi shipbuilding) contractors, who have an efficient record of meeting their Japanese submarine launch deadlines.

On efficiency, see the Japanese submarine build Table.
