Why doesn't the RN buy some of these?

Have a look at this video and then tell me we need more Astutes.

I suggest we do buy ------


The Germans usually make a very good product
very reliable and usually cost effective.


Vorsprung derch Technic :lol: :lol:

Subs for show, ships for a pro.
We need Frigates, big **** off shiny ones arf arf

The trouble is going to be rataining the personnel, or even recruiting, to man them (if Brown ever allows the money to purchase extra hulls)and with all the garbage coming from the MoD civs about reduction of personnel for 'the modern .....' etc etc, how long will it be before we are a totally defenceless nation ?

 

[SILVER_FOX]

Oh no - not more bleedin' submarines. :roll:

Not long, by present cutbacks.

You do realise that if you buy a German Submarine then other submarines won't let you out at T-junctions and you'll forget how to indicate.

And the crew will have to sing the English Song in bad German accents... It's a long, long way to bein tipsy, it's a long wait for the beer... (to the Tipperery tune).

As I stated in another place dump the Bombers and buy 15 of these. Keep the SSN's for long range deep water ops. the SSK's for Gib home waters, we will try to avoid the Med. not a good pl;ace for boats of any type.
