Summary and Key Points: Berlin-based journalist Caleb Larson recounts how the Royal Australian Navy’s Collins-class diesel-electric submarines, noisy and troubled when they replaced the Oberon-class in the late 1990s, earned respect in early-2000s exercises when HMAS Waller penetrated a carrier group’s screens, evaded US, Japanese, Canadian, Chilean, Korean, and British forces, and photographed aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72) within torpedo range. Australia then scrapped a 12-boat Naval Group deal for AUKUS nuclear submarines; the Collins boats serve into the 2030s.
