SEA1000, the faulty requirement for the Collins submarine replacement

Well, interesting, but here is the rest of the story.

SEA1000 describes capability that can only be done by a nuke attack sub.

Since Australia is nuke-phobic, SEA1000 is a flawed requirement.

More, if a conventional sub goes into an area where the enemy has control of the air, if found, it will get run down and killed.

This has been known since...at least...1943

"Sunk on 24 June 1943 in the North Atlantic south-west of Iceland, in position 59.00N, 26.18W, by a Fido homing torpedo from a US Catalina aircraft (VP-84 USN/G). 54 dead (all hands lost)."

Don't expect RAN conventional subs to come back from the South China Sea in case of conflict.
