SUBMARINES & MISSILES

[Nerius13]

Not true, P3 Orion and P8 poseidon aircraft are anti submarine warfare ships and the P8 actually carries torpedoes on its wings. Navy also has a hunter class frigate that does ASW. The subs that only hunt other subs are known as Hunter killer or fast attack class.

Not true? Yes, surface forces do have limited antisubmarine ability. The P3 and P8 are maritime patrol aircraft with antisubmarine capability but don't put your house on them achieving kills. As for the Hunter Class Frigate or any surface warship, the advantages are all with the submarine. It can detect surface contacts long before current passive listening systems ie a tail can detect them. Active SONAR has a limited range and add to that modern antisubmarine weapons are torpedoes, a submarine's weapon of choice. Skimmers are hard-pushed to find them let alone damage them. As a practical example, US Carrier Battle Groups' first line of antisubmarine defence are their attached submarines. Like it or not submarines are the current "capital ships" our submarines will be multirole.

Its sad that we have to spend all this money to deter China. It would've been much better spent in the fields of science or medicines.

During WW2 the US and us put Japanese (mostly all of Asian appearance) in internment camps in the country, we and the US didn't have German internment camps as we were both racists, there was only "the yellow peril". Do you think if China gets too aggressive with Taiwan or invades we'll put Aussies of Asian appearance in internment camps?
Before you say it couldn't happen again remember how badly Asians were treated at the beginning of covid? When Trump labelled it the "Chinese flu".
