This is getting pretty ridiculous:
The Virginia class submarines Australia is expecting to buy from the US in the early 2030s as part of the AUKUS security pact are running two to three years behind schedule, according to an internal US navy investigation.
The one page assessment, made public on late Tuesday (Wednesday AEDT), found the two classes of Virginia nuclear powered submarines currently under construction, known as IV and V, were running approximately 36 and 24 months, respectively, late “based upon current performance”.
At this rate, China will have long self-destructed via its imploding housing market, and the nuclear subs will be just in time to combat the rising might of Admiral Borat and the Kazakhstani empire.
We better fit the subs with wheels so we can get landlocked Kazakhstan.
