Cabinet weighs Australian submarines for Royal Navy use
Cabinet expected to discuss introducing Australian submarines into the R A N this year after a prior postponement. Defence Minister Townley noted training of officers and ratings would begin with Royal Navy A class subs in Sydney, while three modern T class boats were used for training. A navy spokesman said no official decision had been made on adoption, describing the submarine idea as speculative. Commander W Rands suggested Australia may build its own subs in the future.
