I did qualify my comment and asked for clarification given you wrote:
"...AUKUS is projected to cost 360 billion over its lifetime, is the virginia (ignoring the SSN AUKUS) 3 times better sub than the proposed attack class...".
That could be interpreted the way I did of your post. The implication being 3x better for 3x the cost when comparing only Virginia to Attack.
ORAC at least just answered me with his understanding of what the costs were apparently based on and I thanked him with a thumbs up.
You should know, as I do, that the costs of both Attack class and AUKUS subs from Defence have always been quite opaque. If you understand it better than I do, then please explain what is being included in those through life costs and is it consistent comparison for all classes?
Just because we disagree, you don't have to slag me off... you know little about me other than that I clearly have a strong counter opinion to yours.
