I think we should make these German subs under license in our shipyards.
How many?
I was thinking of two flotillas of six, one squadron stationed at our main naval base on the East Island and the other with our conventional subs at the former US base in New Clauswitz. The improvements needed to the East Island Base will provide much needed employment, as will building the submarines themselves.
Estimated cost:
Submarine Facility East Island Naval Base $578 million
Submarine Facility New Clauswitz Naval Base $80 million
2 Hybrid AIP/ diesel electric submarines + spares, weapons, crew training, maintenance familiarisation courses etc $1 billion
Ist year spend - $1.9 billion
2nd year spend - $1.8 billion
3rd/4th year spend - $1.5 billion
Total cost for 4 year programme - approx $7 billion
