Apart from the initial question by Tartare, this is effectively a really good news story for the maritime element of the RAAF. How nice to look forward to such a bright future.
Probably for the first time ever, I would really welcome the Aussie CAS and CNS gloating to our British equivalents about how nice it is to have such a fundamentally basic requirement and capability for the appropriate defence of ones homeland!
Still won't win Fincastle though
