Great news for the Country town of Bendigo.
How good are these ZF transmissions.

About time our government realised the importance of having stuff like this made locally.

Great news, for once. Just hope it doesn't end up as Collins-Class subs v2.0

The Collins Class is brilliant, one of the most successful subs ever in war games against the massive U.S. navy. Also has a lot more range and capability even against brand new subs being produced right now.
its service life has been extended a couple of times as they are holding up well |

Runs a 6HP gearbox. Only thing it's missing is the option for the Barra I6T for civilian use ;)

As for the Hawkei - I wonder if they would consider adapting the design for civvie or commercial/mining use? There's about a tonne of composite armour in it alone, but its monocoque construction might be a sticking point for some.
