Guys

Just wondering if anyone had thoughts and time to put down some quick notes on Australias Collins Class subs? How have you seen their performance or abilities, good/bad/ugly?

There is a wealth of information out there to wade through on the Collins.

 

The program has been plagued by technical problems, but the subs have always seemed to perform well in exercises.

Yep, in exercises they've successfully torpedoed US carriers.

Thanks guys.

I was aware there was some info out there, but locally all i hear is that they are duds, always breaking down etc. I wasnt sure in what context the local news person had though, maybe the subs were duds, or maybe this is "business as usual" for other nations more used to working with these kind of things.

 

I hadnt been able to find anything on how well they performed once they were released into the water though, so just trying to guage how the subs are viewed from people more used to doing so. Thanks for the replies.
