Only because the US Navy is buying them. Knowing our lot, if anything is built they will place the order with the US Manufacturer or ask that the Submarine Corp does it in Adelaide


But to be honest, I believe the eyes of a number of Navy's in the world were opened when one was used for the Timor deployment ? Is that correct ?


Considering a fair number of boats used in the Army and Navy for Water Ops Safety boats are Small Cats for use in the open seas, it's a wonder they didn't catch on earlier.
