Even though the Germans said they could build them for half that price.
WTF is wrong with Aussies? Everyone knows Kraut U-boats are the best.

>>The German subs weren't adequately equipped. The mosque and prayer rug storage room didn't leave enough space for electronics.
They say apparently the French offered to build some experimental super-silent drive for those u-boats which doesn't even work and may never work. The Germans were honest and said "we are goingz zou builzd youz a weryyy goodz Unterseeboot with a normalz propeller."
Why is Australia outsourcing their military production to Islamic countries?

Don't trust the fucking French for anything. Russia paid them £2bn for 2 helicopter carriers. After the Ukraine incident in 2014. France cancelled the contract and never gave the ships to Russia in late 2015 they finally agreed to pay them back the money but the French are keeping the ships.
>>72129098
That was a false flag op. The Russians told the Frenchies "we really don't want those boats", so they staged this international theatre.
Australia is building it in their own shipyards
It's just french design
US equpment
etc
Thats why it'll be a fucking disaster
built in some shitty union run shipyard, for double the cost of just buying it outright somewhere else, by some people who have never made subs before

looks like whoever was around leading in 1940 should be brought back to make ThyssenKrupp great again

Volkswagen has just overtaken Toyota as the biggest car manufacturer.
Even though an emissions-cheating scandal has rocked German car maker Volkswagen AG — expected to cost the company upward of $18 billion — the company’s sales were buoyed by China and Europe, allowing it to overtake its archrival Toyota — the no. 1 seller of cars for four consecutive years — which suffered from production stoppage during the quarter gone by.
The Japanese automaker announced Tuesday it sold 2.46 million vehicles globally in the January to March period, a 2.3 percent drop from the same period a year ago. Spokeswoman Kayo Dai told Bloomberg the slowdown was caused at least in part by the weeklong shutdown of Japanese assembly plants in February.
In contrast, Volkswagen announced on April 15 that its vehicle sales for the first quarter of 2016 increased 0.8 percent compared to a year ago, and the company delivered close to 2.51 million vehicles worldwide in the three months ending March 31. The German automaker got a big boost from sales in Western Europe and China, which together accounted for over 1.85 million vehicles sold in the quarter.

We don't let sandniggers near our car production. Only 100% pure bloods are allowed to work in production.

Don’t be too proud of the technological terror you’ve constructed America. The ability to destroy a planet is insignificant next to the power of the shitpost.
>>72127501
Here is my theory.
They didn't go with Japan because if Japan is taken by China in future then the enemy will know everything about the Australian subs, as new japan will be part of china.
They didn't go with germany because the germans are run by people who conspire to genocide white people.
They went with france because france can build subs and stands firm against the immigrants.
Japan is just upset because the Military sees all this and takes it as a sign that the west thinks Japan will fall to China.
>>72126948

I only purchase high quality war winning subs. You know what, I will build my own subs, with blackjack and hookers.

>>72132427
Or in other words, Australia buys conventional non-nuclear submarines from France, even though France has pretty much no experience in conventional non-nuclear subs and their offer was twice as expensive as the German one.
ThyssenKrupp has been the global market leader in conventional subs since the 1960s. Not buying at their competitive price, is just pure stupidity. They would also have produced purely in Australia.
>>72131830

Which is why it would be a good idea to see it in action before you buy it. Storing a shit load of extremely high pressure hydrogen + oxidizer (even outside the crew compartment) has it's risks. Different situation (broke russian navy) but ask the Ruskies how the Kursk explosion worked out
The first sub will be ready in the early 2030's. Since when does it take over 15 years to build a fucking submarine?

>>72132910
It must be said that France is a better military ally than Germany. It has bases everywhere, including in the Pacific Ocean. Which is not the case of Germany.
Diplomatically it was also much more weight than Germany.
Clearly economic power in West Europe is Germany, but militarily it is France that has the leadership, the Australians are not deceived them.

Of course it's not a shitty german quality, so it needs a lot of times.

Our submarines are more sophisticated than yours. This explains the price. On the other hand, it is the Australian who will build much of the submarines. It takes time to train their engineers. There is also a technology transfer.

>>72126948
Looking purely on paper Scorpene class is not bad, but it's not that great either. Guess the french offered to share technology with the deal, thus making it possible that within 40years Aussies can develop they own sub if they want to.
Purely on performance I would have gone with the Swedish subs, but politically French ones are not bad.
This might indicate that we too might end up with French-based subs.

Compared to Americans...
The old story about 6sigma and the Japs goes like this:
in 1987, an American company contracts out 50,000 machine parts to a Jap company.
The order reads "50,000 of the X07-1 piezo driven pumps, 3 defectives max".
3 weeks later, Japs ship the 50,000 parts. But there is something strange, the Japs also ship a small wooden box with it with a letter affixed with it:
"Dear American customer-senpai san,
We are honored to present 50,000 machine parts to you. As requested, even though we do not understand why, we are providing you with 3 parts separately in a this small box, which we have damaged so they are defected. May the sun rise today in your country, senpai-san.
Harakiri and goodnight!

I don't think anyone flies to the UK to get this awesome thing where they cook a sheep stomach and stuff it into a pig mouth, which is then eaten half raw... or get served by an Indian water the typically British dish of "Chicken Tikka Massala, extra Indian spicy with Chai tea".

If that is correct, then why can't you defeat unorganized shitskin army in this current war then?

I didnt know we were currently at war with Russia
>>72136734
The UK has just built 2 new super carriers bigger than any Russian carriers, built 3 subs that are recognised as the most advanced in the world m8
Russia being powerful is literally a meme
>>72126948
>>72136504
Brits like to pretend they're still relevant internationally sometimes, it's best if you just ignore it.

It hasn't

They aren't

By all means lad, go invade and take over puny weak little Russia if their so damn weak, let me know how that works out.

Fuck off proxy

Nice argument kid
>>72136999
>How are we not?
Nice trips.
Still, are you fucking serious? Where or when have the Brits ever been relevant in the last 25 years? Like seriously?
At least the French do their own operations in Africa, sometimes aided by us. But you Brits? You are just America's poodlefuckers, used to "share cost" by letting you do 5-10% of the Americans' war work now and then.
>>72137085
I wonder if they'd nuke their own capital...
>>72136808
We aren't fighting Russia though
>>72126948
We don't want to support a country we will soon be at war with?
We should have just built our own, or better yet the fucking Americans should have paid for the super expensive Japanese ones since they are the ones demanding we get more subs.
I guess its better than the initial proposal to give us U.S. Nuke Subs captained by Americans.
Anyway;
>French
I expect these to break down like every other French weapons system we buy. I swear to god these contracts are a scam.
>>72137151
We do our own operations in Africa you ignorant muslim
We're currently deployed in about a dozen countries
>>72127501
Japan was too expensive and they won't build them in Australia with Australian labour.
These are specifically for causing Chinese butthurt in the south china seas.
>>72133789
By the US, who previously held the title of best sub.

>"Our sonar is fantastic and I have never before experienced holding a submarine at the range we were holding USS New Mexico. The Americans were utterly taken aback, blown away with what they were seeing."
I get that it's hard being Austria but we're not all shit militarily.

Russia literally has a lower GDP than the UK, even with its vast natural resources and over double the population.
>>72133499
theyre not shit, but not as good as the USA's subs.
>>72137188
Well scorched earth does seem to be one of their favorite tactics.
Daily reminder :

Not exactly a feat

The fact they outnumber you in total population alone puts you at a disatvantaged m8
>>72126948
Only on /pol/ could a submarine contract start a race war
>>72130361
This sub ran aground and then someone got shot on it.
>>72137513
Even our rickety diesel subs designed by a hippie in a shed managed to pull this off several times.
These scenarios are absolute worst-case and designed to train sailors to respond to disaster situations. It means literally nothing.

From both sides. It's not representative, but it's not irrelevant.

Union products are much higher quality as well as the craftspeople are actually making a decent wage plus retirement

America said;
>Minions, pls buy Jap subs and annoy the chinks
Our military and politicians wanted to appear like they aren't just a direct extension of the U.S. and flex their Strong Independent Decision Making and put the job up for bids.
They refuse to go with locals because the only contractors to fuck up worse than Australians are the French (the irony).
They refused to go with Japs because Muh Cost.
The Americans had all sorts of crazy demands, so they were out.
I have no idea why we went with the French, beyond them offering to build them here. Their stuff is garbage.
They went with France, because the French agreed to build the subs in Straya. So that a bunch of union shipyard cents could have a job.

British and American subs aren't for sale m8.
You get one of those, you get a British or Yank crew with it.
Plus England cares more about Somalians, Turks and Germans/Poles than they do about their loyal commonwealth countries now. You backstabbing dogs.
