You think, you though who confirm?
You obviously have no idea on the true state of our submarine
force. Do you have any idea on the readiness our our current
submarine force? No idea? Try talking to somebody into the RSN.
Curiously for anything regarding the SAF, you always seem to
assume 100 percent readiness for anything, but is incredibly
pessimistic when it comes to any other nation. Apparently, murphy
laws only works for other nations?
In any case for your "layman" understanding, lets just say
that in terms of submarine technology, the Aussies are light years
ahead of us, or any nation in the world for that matter when it
comes to operating blue water SSKs.
So when Australia get second hand weapons system it is
a mistake?
But when Singapore gets an old, second hand sub that was
supposed to be scrapped it is "for our needs".
Seriously you are a joke.
1.At last SgTy regard time availiable for sub sailing is
important.
STy now wont said Oz sub of future technology can cover every
short fall.
2.Pl keep on track of this thread---Oz AWD and rrelated
topics,now
we talking about sub.We can open a topics to talk SAF stuff,
but not offending OSA!!
3.Oz have never bought old major
platforms in the past 20 years,
unlike SG!!Oz may have bought old major platforms more than
20 years ago.Oz goes for latest ,biggest and powerful
platforms,
at least on paper.Sg is good to turn scrap into usable
stuff,after
some jobs!!
ONLY less than 2 subs can fight,so to say, in any
day
we come to here not to hear any authoritive speech
or teaching,ie whatever this man says ot this country
do
is right.
We come here to learn somethings useful,to sharpen our
thinking
skills and to distinguish between facts and fictions.
Oz offical reports is only 1.6 sub
in a day on average, able to fight
,so to say, in 2006/2007.Pl take note even these 1.6
Collins sub were ''Mission
capabality
not fully
achieved due to system related defects and
workforce
shortfalls.''
So,i can say NO COLLINS SUB REACH
FULL CAPABILITY in 2006/07!!
OMG!!u spent so much $$ and effort and NOT a single
sub can fight to her designed fighting capabilty!!
yes.They think no one will knock on Australia's door.
U are invited to read the full report if u think
it is unbelieveable.

4.Australia Collins sub
40 % to 60% in dock:Officail report
Thats is to say,only 3 out of 6 latest and powerful Oz sub can
sail
at any time.
We dunt know the capbaility,to be honest.Lets assume all
sails
with Full Capabability.
But is it a prudent approach when u can only deploy half of the
subs?
Why sub have to spend so much time in docks?
They are pretty new.Oz will tell u they are doing upgrading
for
agvanced or future weapons or equipments.
But do u think a less than 10 Years sub needs so much
upgrading?
Use your brains!!
Look at these evidences:
MCD =
Mid-Cycle Docking--5
AMP =
Assisted Maintenance Period--4
ID =
Intermediate Docking—9 to 14
CED =
Certifi cation Extension Docking--14
CEM =
Certifi cation Extension Maintenance Period--5
SMP =
Self Maintenance Period--2
IMAV =
Intermediate Maintenance Availability—8

In 2006,40% time in
dock:

In 2004/05,60 % spent in
docks.

2003/04,55 % in dock
