There is a story relating to that sub in Holbrook .

Our illustrious navy , the RAN, had red faces when thay had to salvage some parts from that very Sub at Holbrook .

One of their old Oberon ? class subs, still in service , needed some bits to keep it going . The sailors raided the Holbrook sub for the bits .......

I won't mention who bought a certain Swedish submarine design , without an example ever being built and sea trialled . Turns out it has nasty propeller noise and a myriad of computer glitches . It's only cost endless millions of dollars .... for a lemon that had design flaws from the beginning . It was so unreliable , the navy has had to spend squillions on the darn things .
