Strategic Analysis Australia Director Michael Shoebridge says the government’s plan to upgrade their submarine fleet is “extremely complicated” and “crazily expensive”.
The Australian government has planned to extend the life of the six Collins-class submarine fleet.
“The big issues are crewing, but also when you’re trying to upgrade these Collins-class submarines … you’ve got to scoop out everything inside them: the sonars, the combat systems, the electronics, the propulsion system.” Mr Shoebridge told Sky News host Peta Credlin.
“Put a new submarine inside the old shell.
“That’s extremely complicated, very technically high risk and crazily expensive in addition to all the money going on the nuclear submarines.”

Labor and Greens are going to convert them to run on Unicorn Farts 😆
Have a look at this 👉 UUV300CB and ask yourself why we will even need submarines at all, the way things are progressing.
Basically we are fcked
PM found $450 million for his own 2 planes????
Australia wants the most advaned nuclear submarines.
Australias the laughing stock of the World when it comes to defence it couldn't even defend its way out of a wet paper bag 😂😂
These two sky nazi clowns really think Australia is a powerful country when all they have is a couple of old rusted American & British warships & subs & ammunition that would last 1 week only
We had a prominent saying in the Navy… You can't fix stupid.
Just buy an off shelf model from Japan. It would be cheaper 😮
Are well not worry.
More money laundering
When are the nuclear subs coming
Where will they fit the solar panels for battery charging?
Labour don't delay our subs, dont cowtail to china. I want this country safe, and your not doing the job,
$2 EACH WAY ON A HORSE THAT WILL RUN LAST LABOR😊
What a waste of money buying nuclear submarines, better to buy nuclear power stations to benefit ALL AUSTRALIANS……then you will see the money well spent. Clean energy and no ugly windmills covering arable land. Have a look at the new nuclear power station in Finland, even the Greenies are touting its benefits.
Well maybe is Labor planned the Collins Class replacement last time they were in office, as they were meant to do, we would be in a better position, but no, they left it for a decade leaving a debacle for the LNP to try and sort, and now blame them for the problem 🙄
Given that Albo & his team of Muppets could not manage a kid's birthday party, what chance is there of the whole submarine upgrade project going pear-shaped?
For gods sake make up your mind and stick with it !!!
The Collins are too old, too corroded and too small to be viable, too slow to get away from anything, Rudd screwed the replacement process back in 2009
lol
So we'll just extend the life of the already extended life which was an extended life from original life expectancy of the Collin's class sub ….
Labour just needs to leave things alone & we'll wait until the liberal party take over government
The liberal party will find the best option available to boost the Australian Navy between now & Australia receiving the ordered Virginia class nuclear subs .
You can almost put your house on it that the labour plan will be the worst plan .
Just like the Australian renewable energy plan is .
