This is really a question for Ja Worsley our resident Aussie expert.
Recently I was watching an Aus documentary about one of the Collins class subs (on a UK satallite channel – Sky One I think) and the fact that the Collins was one of the largest Diesel subs in the world came up. Now tonight whilst I was looking at YouTube I found a Japanese documentary about their Oyashio class:

I must admit they look fairly sizeable tubs themselves so Im curious about how they compare to the Collins in size and capability (I could do a web search on this but I do enjoy Ja Worsleys Aussie insight on these matters 😀 ).
was this the ‘beneath southern seas’ doco??
