  1. Japan's submarines are not nuclear-powered. Japan's AIP is based on Sweden's AIP tech.

  2.  @andrewfernandez7203  The major contribution from the French's offer is the pumpjet propulsion otherwise it's Collins Class upgrade with SEA1000's requirements e.g. 8 torpedo tubes, AIP, higher range and 'etc'. The weapon system is of US origin regardless of the submarine platform's design origin. S80P's capabilities have to fit SEA1000's requirements. The Attack class's range specs are part of SEA1000's requirements. France already designed submarines greater than 4000 tons displacement.

  3. The plan for Attack class submarine's construction is to be built in Australia.

  4.  @bestestusername  Based on war game results, Collins class is functionally similar to the Los Angeles class, but with a shorter duration time.

  5. Attack class submarine has US weapon systems. The French contribution is the platform design.

  6. S-80 Plus-class submarine has a shorter range (8,000km) when compared to the current Collins-class (21,300 km). The Attack class submarine's range (33,000 km) is higher than the Collins class. The Attack class submarine has AIP.

  7.  @andrewfernandez7203  Red herring, Please address Collins Class's 21,300 km at 10 knots range and 17,000 km at 10 knots at periscope submerged requirements. Sweden has an AIP upgrade for the Colins class btw. For RAN, the range has a higher priority.

  8.  @andrewfernandez7203  Prove S80-P is superior over an Attack-class submarine without detailed information.

  9.  @andrewfernandez7203  Australia doesn't operate Tomahawk long-range SLCMs. For Israel In adherence to Missile Technology Control Regime rules[38] the US Clinton administration rejected an Israeli request in 2000 to purchase Tomahawk long-range SLCMs It is believed that the SLCM version of the Israeli Popeye was developed by Israel after the US Clinton administration refused an Israeli request in 2000 to purchase Tomahawk long-range SLCM's because of the international Missile Technology Control Regime proliferation rules. Australia has purchased Popeye missile for F-111C.
