Challenges in Extending the Life of Collins Submarines

The Grumpy Strategists set out practical ways that the plans for keeping Australia's Collins class subs operating might need to change to enable the AUKUS Virginia class subs to be brought into Australian service.

We may have needed a permit for this episode to avoid jail. Under the new law, it's hard to tell.
