When will we see some movement on this issue? The debate has been stuck at the same point for years with no indication that the US plans to deliver the submarines and no willingness from our government to back out. Like am I going to be reading the exact same talking points in a decade from now or will something finally change by then?
Things are happening but they're just not sexy "here's your submarine mate" things.
This type of "what if it doesn't work out" question will always be news worthy up until the day a submarine does get delivered.
Sadly, yes you are still going to be reading the same headline a decade from now because we're not going to receive our first submarine within the next decade, if we receive any at all.
