Quick! Somebody notify Ottawa

Remembering that like small arms, these things are built by the lowest bidder, to a budget.
Join the Navy and see the world (not as a sub mariner by the sounds of it)
Join the Army and clean it up.... or alternatively (while ignoring the Vietnam war poster of a soldier with hands full of hair) Join the army and get a head.

With all that has changed, "Nuthins changed"

But the RNZAF maritime squadron (P3's) just loved the Collins Class subs: it was the loudest thing in the water, so that even the less-than-up-to-date NZ Orion electronics could hear them slipping 'stealthily' through the depths!!!!

I remember seeing a company name at a defence trade show that I didn't recognize. They were some sort of major sponsor too. It took a while for me to learn that they were the major contractor for the sub' repairs. I doubt anyone would pick them out of a line up as big defence spending benefactors.
