Some people can't be educated. Dullness seems to be in epidemic proportions at the moment.

I am not seeing any major differences between the Australian and UK versions of the AUKUS submarines. They seem to be basically the same boat down to the AN/BYG-1 combat system.

If that's the case surely we should be able to start construction, perhaps as early as this decade.

I think the current program sees first construction in 2029. It's just a long slow build for the first hull.
