No probs, I try not to take things too seriously. How could I? I once served on a Royal Navy Leander Class frigate named HMS Penelope 
Big News for your old job, Legs. About time as well.

Managed to piss off the EU and China in one foul swoop, maybe Scotty from marketing knows something that we don't, are we about to sell lots of iron ore to Boris?

How stealthy are nuke subs, diesel electric can go quiet, hope they know how to make silent pumps for the reactor, can't turn those suckers off
Great doco that Legs, they were an amazing piece of hands on machinery.
I grew up in Shell Cove, just round the corner from the HMAS Platypus, always messing about in boats and the subs were a normal everyday part of the waterfront, remember the day the two guys got left outside when they dived off the heads, very sad.
As far as the new deal goes, I am hoping that the industry that will be created here in Aus will be huge, imagine the number of apprentices that will do their trade, in all different trades building those subs.
Whether or not they are needed by the time they are finished is another story but we need to manufacture stuff here.
Hopefully we can do it well like we used to.

It all reminds me of Elvis Costello's 'Shipbuilding' - an ode to the Falklands war. Not the kind of world I would like to live in, but nothing has changed since our cave days.
Get your Veuve and Bolly now - it's about to undergo a little price rise

We are going to call one sub PRC, another Taliban, another Russia.
That will confuse them.
Fire on Russia! вы уверены сэр?
