Good for them.

Why do we need the subs again?

To protect us from the trouble the us are likely to drag us into?

Because we have a lot of ocean that needs patrolling. The Ran wanted some new subs anyway and Scotty decided to screw the French.

Nuclear submarines + tax cuts + surplus but oh no we can't afford public housing, best we can do is some stock market scam.

Well that's a start, but my word they'll need a lot more. They've had enough difficulty just finding sufficient crew for our six Collins Class boats. If you consider the combo of physical, psychological traits and qualifications a job like that would require, it's not hard to see why.

Quite honestly, I can't picture it ever happening, myself. But I could be wrong.
