  1. Beyond excited.. this is on at the #RoxyCinema

    I’m pretty sure Ive only ever watched it on VHS or YT. It has it all.. #submarines #coldwar #practicaleffects and for once low Reynolds number #fluidmechanics is appropriate. 🤪

    When i give general talks on the oceans to public audiences i often use a movie as a familiar prop to ease people in at the same time as giving their preconceptions a nudge 😎.. ive used this one a few times. It provides excellent service.

    Canada picks German consortium (ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems)
    to build a dozen submarines in one of the country’s largest-ever defense contracts.

    The order itself is estimated to be worth ~ US$12B (£9bn) but the contract also includes roughly half a century of maintenance, meaning the total bill could exceed US$70B.

    Canada is also considering purchasing 72 Saab-made Gripen fighter jets. theguardian.com/world/2026/jul #Canada #Defense #Submarines #ThyssenKrupp #Germany #CanadianNavy #Saab #FighterJets #Military #Gripen

  12. I would make a U-boat joke, but that would be inappropriate. Looks like the German/Norwegian bid is it! Honestly, from a NATO and EU perspective it makes sense. I think the two bids were very very similar.

  14. Selecting a preferred submarine bidder was the easy part. Ironing out the contract & getting the boats built and delivered, setting up infrastructure & training regimes & preparing the navy & country to take on 12 #submarines will be the much, much bigger challenge” open.substack.com/pub/philippe...

  28. I cannot help but sigh deeply whenever politicians get involved in strategic military discussions. This is in no way to disparage, in this case, Senator #Shoebridge as he rightly points out that a handful of submarines will not guarantee open sea lanes to Australia in the event of war. For what it’s worth, Sen Shoebridge is only targeting the Govt’s goto spiel about #AUKUS, that is a simple message which the public can understand and focus on.

    While the govt messaging about protecting sealanes being the reason for SSN acquisition is not entirely wrong, it is not entirely correct either. Submarines platforms are primarily intelligence, insertion, and deterence platforms, #Stealth is something SSN currently have in spades. Their stealth characteristics make these SNNs a force projection multiplier in any theater of sea warfare and likely to make an aggressor think twice before they commit to offensive actions. This comment is not a defence of #AUKUS since that is simply a defence acquisition project. But it is in defence of the need for undersea platforms that are stealthy, highly survivable, can transport personel, equipment and stores, carry offensive and defensive elements and traverse transoceanic distances at speed without refueling. Those needs are dictated to the ADF by the govt of the day in terms of assigned strategic missions and outcomes. In short, our ADF (men adn women pledging their lives to defend us all) deserves the very best materiel and platforms we can provide in order to carry out those missions and responsibilites entrusted to our them.

    Everything else is plainly just politics, played by, I dare say, less than genuine and knowledgeable individuals.
