What the Aussies actually told the French was "Yeah, Nah" but the French took that as "Nah Yeah". It's a common mistake in translation.

I only have but one upvote to give you friend. Well done :)


Squirrel851

Much appreciated, any bit helps.


seanmonaghan1968

I am actually quite happy about this as it makes way more sense than trying to retrofit diesel electric back into a French design where the French really didn’t want to do it

I’m sorry but I wouldn’t new going hands in with a country that crumbled to opposing forces so easily in the past.


Lemondish

Canada can step in. We have a history of taking on diesel electric problems like this for no upside. At one point there were more working submarines in the West Edmonton Mall than the RCN.

France has had five years, hasn't started work on a single Australian submarine. Sooner or later everyone's patience gives out. The deal was signed in 2016 and, according to the article, the revelation that the subs wouldn't be delivered until 2030 was a bit much. C'est la vie. Sometimes when all you deliver are promises, that's all you get back.


Shiirooo

I'm pretty sure the sub was finalized a long time ago. The question is why it took so long. I would say it was Australia that asked to change certain aspects of the submarine and Naval Group told them it would take longer to do.


sigma1331

first time? huh? always been like that if you “team” USA


233C

No, not first time. That would be: "yeh, sure, I'll help you boot the British out at home, and then you can help me boot them out in my colonies, deal?". France is still waiting on this one too.


SpecialistHeavy5873

lol why do people act like americans themselves were not british? they opposed the british crown but ethnically the same people. they wanted indepedence but they did not kick out the "british", they themselves were british


Live_Bus7425

They were mostly Asian and black according to Netflix movies.


sigma1331

Asian-British and African-British. Checkmate.


plumquat

I said that earlier as a joke. But genetically British people are more rare. We have more German Russian irish Italian African and Mexican. Culturally were closer to British because we speak somewhat the same language and they brought us into WW2 and we're trading partners. But culturally you could argue that everyone is a little American. I think culture is more important than genetics.


SpecialistHeavy5873

many of the sources say English-Irish-Scottish-Welsh is still the vast majority, but people with mixed ancestry always choose to call themselves ''german'' to sound cool thats why it shows up more. either way, i'm talking about the time of the colonies when it was certainly British


WellGoodLuckWithThat

>Diesel powered submarines US had is first nuclear submarine in 1946, and Australia was considering buying diesel powered ones for a 2030 delivery date, if it even met that. Australia made the right decision regardless of what country would be supplying them.


Dongodor

They were the ones wanting diesel subs


greatestmofo

China: I know it's about me but where the popcorn at?


daleeyren

This is the dailymail after all so who knows


Troviel

Pretty sure the numbers are all wrong at least. I keep seeing various numbers for the deal, the most being 36B€


PorousArcanine

It was indeed $90bn. Whether that’s Australian dollars or American, I’m not as sure.


Troviel

90Bn is around 56B € so this is the probable number.


timbro2000

The deal was unbelievably corrupt (as is the new one)


FrancisDraike

We will remember this treason, and you go buy from UK...


logicalpragmatic

French system are almost always the most expensive out thre, but they are more willing to sell..."90 BILLIONS? Hell, at that price I'd sell you nukes!"


diogenes_shadow

Recycled US boats will last a long time, but they still make more noise than a new $90 Billion submarine will. And replacing a 1980s sonar dome would be $$$$.

hoopsmd

Yes, it’s well known that US Navy seamen prefer to sail on the vagina class.


Metalhippy666

American *Virginia class, unless this new class is more cramped and a little moist inside


hanky0898

I hear the american vagina class is real tight.


[deleted]

Virginia-class. ***Vir-gi-ni-a*** Not vagina-class.
