Thank you for you informed information. Makes a change round here.
However on a point of detail was your personal association with the project something of which you are proud or ashamed?

Although I wish the equipment we procured worked better (and I wasn't responsible for the attack/ident sub system), I feel happy that a "cold war requirement" has proved adaptable and should be able to deliver a decent capability even if we did take 24 years to deliver it into service.
My conscience is clear and I'm happy with the result.
