    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??

    I can’t read the page but there are some nice high rez photos here:

    One question I have is why did they leave the blank spot on the VLS here? If they’d dropped in one more 8-cell that could have been up to 32 ESSMs.

    their afraid the missiles might hit the CWIS mounting on the port side.

    the zarkman died as he lived………..a bloated fat pig.

    its a pity his death wasnt video taped and shown worldwide like those beheadings he carried out.
