I totally agree with this poster, and the logic in the Thai article is wrong. Australia had planned to buy 8 new subs using Diesel fuel, the new subs will use nuclear fuel, NOT nuclear weapons. Since the subs would have about a 40 year life why would anyone want to be locked into a hydrocarbon fuel when the world is hell bent on moving away from it. Australia's coastline is vast and stealth is the best way of monitoring it, as it currently does. Nuclear subs will do the job so much better, No need to surface to charge batteries, return to port for refueling etc.
