The costly legacy and uncertain future of Australia's submarine fleet
Australia is preparing to replace its current fleet of six Collins class submarines. This video examines the nation's troubled history with underwater vessels, exploring the immense expense and controversy surrounding the machines built by ASC Limited.
The current Australian naval strength relies on six Collins class submarines, which were constructed by the Australian Submarine Corporation (now ASC Limited) during the 1990s and early 2000s. These vessels represent some of the most expensive and contentious engineering projects in the country's history. As these boats reach the end of their service, the search for a successor begins, continuing a complex saga of maritime procurement and technical challenge.
