    Perhaps we can offer you some advice about how to successfully run a Navy. I mean, shame on Australia for having to borrow from New Zealand. No wonder we're sending our Marines to guard your northern coast from Chinese naval forces.

    I don't let bugs crawl up my ass. I just find it distressing that Australians claim that their country is so much better than the US when they can't even maintain a viable naval force and have to depend on an even weaker neighbor for the loan of a ship. The term defenseless comes to mind.

    We undoubtedly wanted to see what inferior naval design looked like so we accepted your loan. We'd be happy to repay the loan. You're welcome to pick from our mothballed fleets.

    Yawn. Boring and predictable from someone who is obviously jealous.

    Jealous of a broken down navy that has been described as unfit for purpose? Not likely mate.

    And yet those subs keep beating the US in war games. Says more about the state of your Navy than ours.

    RIMPAC 2000. Nice job. You'd be hard pressed to get 2 of those Collins class junkpiles operational today.

    Best leave the war mongering to the war mongers.

    Romans, Nazis, Americans.

    Not so much the American people but the people at the top who lead them.

    YEP.
    This is what happens when we have a goverment that wastes money on failed "green" energy schemes, wastes money on boat people, wastes money on foreign aide and is too incompetent to see that without a good defense force we are sitting ducks. We need to increse the budget for the ADF yet that wont happen because the MINORITY goverment listens to the MINORITY of aussies that would have you believe that their bleetings speak for us all.

    We're one of the biggest military spenders on the planet.

    Those Collins class have really been a major let down, eh?

    And we are updating our navy, starting with the new Canberra class and Hobart class ships. Here's hoping these ones actually, you know, work.

    Kim "Collins Class" Beazly.

    Pathetic decision to purchase an inferior and out of date machine.

    I suggest you look at the following videos and then make up your mind on whether your country works or not.

    There are another 4 parts to the Fed Reserve, watch them digest them and then come back and tell us how great the US is.

    The US is, by far, the greatest and most powerful country in the world. Oh, and our navy is by far the fittest for purpose.

    I was lucky enough to see first hand the enormity of a few of the US navy boats...was very impressed.
