JN - Very true.
It's sad that a nation with an excellent capability in ASW and most of its components - acoustics, radar and EO - ended up unable to do anything except buy U.S. off-the-shelf, while paying a substantial price and performance penalty for capabilities (AAS radar and ASuW weapons) that we don't intend to use.
