Chris,

Looks like a British Commonwealth plague. The Australian "State of the art" Collins Class submarines cost enough to pay off the entire European debt and have been non-operational for long periods and subject to trouble from day one.

One PR exercise to counter the terrible publicity saw the film crew on board for a live firing exercise. Sneaking up on the target the captain gave the order to fire and bells started going and nothing happened. On the subsequent TV programme they did not edit the captains voice in the the background saying "This thing is a piece of s..t!"
