    Sounds like a trump quote

    Can’t wait for us to change supplying country 3 or 4 times, paying massive contract breaking penalties each time, for us to pay more for a worse performing ship that arrives hugely over budget and 15 years too late.

      Do we get a bulk discount if we buy the Japanese Subs as well? TBH, they are a cool looking sub.

    Why do they need to be for war? Why can’t we just band together to build Good Ships for the sake of it?
