German sub sales-force OK with Australia

Not much confusion about the sales message from the Germans (or the French). A history of successful world-wide sales can do that.

ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems believes the shipbuilding infrastructure at Henderson, south of Perth, is world-class and would be perfect for building sections of boats — or even entire submarines.

“There’s the capacity to do the whole submarine there if you wanted to,” TKMS Australia chairman John White said. “It’s really just a question of what the Government wants to do.”

The German option also allows for possible work on the frigate replacement program.
