What kind of damage good or bad could Australia do if we sold them one Nimitz class and taught them how to land on it? They already have growlers and regular carrier capable Super Hornets, would it be worth investing in F35Cs as well? What kind of uptime would be realistically achievable, would it be similar to Kuznetzov? How much power projection does this one carrier provide them?
Three is the normal quantity of a thing to have one operational. One out there one to replace it and the one that just got back for repair.
>>64889199>What kind of damage good or badWell it would probably bankrupt our defense budget, so there's that.Of course we probably could have afforded it if the mining super profits tax hadn't been gutted, but the jews saw to that.
>>64889199Aussie here, we just can't afford to keep carriers operational becase as >>64889212 said you need more than 1.IMO we should just build the bomb, have a doctorine of "if you enter our waters with intent we tactical nuke the force" and tell the world to fuck off.I'm sick of following the US into a stupid war evry decade only to be tariffed by elected reatrds. Fuck the US, fuck alliances in general, fuck non-proliferation.
>>64889381Im seconding what this fellow ausfag says, we cant fucking afford it however hopefully with the new sub yard in South Australia we can have nuke subs and develop nukes. I don't believe we should have force projection around the world with carriers however nuke subs will protect out northern trade routes>>64889226>Tax the mining companiesYou would think our "left" wing government in right now would do that but they are all so in bed with the mining companies its retarded.
>>64889199Ausfaglandia can't afford carriers. As noted you'd need 3 for near constant availability of 1, which in turn means 3 sets of escorts (including some nukular attack subs) and air groups. Probably should have 2 full-service ports as well. This only works if you've got a home grown MIC which brings jobs with it but trying to buy all that from outside would break any country pretty quick. Further, Austria doesn't really need power projection since they don't have overseas commitments.
>>64889434>Further, Austria doesn't really need power projection since they don't have overseas commitments.North Borneo would like a word
>>64889199I think it would be more beneficial to do what Turkey is doing with their drone carrier concept, I don’t think it would take too much effort to have Ghost Bat’s launched off our Canberra’s.>>64889381>IMO we should just build the bomb, have a doctorine of "if you enter our waters with intent we tactical nuke the force" and tell the world to fuck off.I agree but the normies would have a fucking fit and it would be political suicide for whoever suggested it>I'm sick of following the US into a stupid war evry decade only to be tariffed by elected reatrds. Fuck the US, fuck alliances in general, fuck non-proliferation.I’m pretty happy that we are not getting involved in Gulf War 3: Tehran Drift. Although I think the guys we have at that airbase in UAE will probably get caught in the cross fire which sucks
>>64889450If you benefit from modern international trade then you have an obligation to defend it
>>64889447>North BorneoThat was a safe bit of diplomacy for Australia. There's nothing there lol
>>64889476I was refering to Austria trying in the 1870s since someone said Austria instead of Australia
>>64889450You should be launching X-47Bs off of your Nimitzes.
>>64889426>we cant fucking afford itWe could if we taxed the fucking mining and gas industry.
>>64889491Yes I know but the c*nberran pollies wont allow it cause the mining companies will throw a fit because they control australia apprently>Gas all c*nberrans & all private school kids >Hang foreign donators>Stop NDIS rort>tax the fuck out of mining>kick out all jimmy grants + boot out perm residents>john howard free rape relief sessions (BYO lube)>free conversion camps for all muslims or forced migration into the simpson desert
>>64889426Agreed, we don't need force projection beyond Asia. >>64889491>>64889491Rudd pushed the mining tax and got replaced by Gillard with the CIAs approval for it. It was this replacement that scared Labor into being a pack of pussies.Since then I have been voting Socialist Alliance, I don't agree with them on everything but just taxing mining will help unfuck the country.https://socialist-alliance.org/policy
>>64889513>>64889491Fun fact: if you stop letting banks print money, your government can just print that money instead and use it to fund programs of national interest.
>>64889523If you stop letting the banks print money then the money they loan needs to actually exist which means the interest rate needs to be high enough billionaires keep their money in the bank instead of in stocks, housing and gold.The solution is nationalized banking so the bank prints money and it's owned by the government.
>>64889521>voting for the pro-hamas/commie party just for mining taxesas a big of a retard as the current parties tbhfam
>>64889535Why do you care about Israel more than taxing mines?
>>64889537Didnt even mention israel faggot but i know what kind of commie you are.Unfortunately paulie is in pocket with israel and no other minor party condemns them outside of commie parties
>>64889544>voting for the pro-hamas/commie partyWhy the fuck does pro-hamas matter if it's only a problem for Israel?As for commie they are socialist and I'm old enough to remember how much better Australia was with nationalized banking, utilities, public transport, communications ect.>paulie is in pocket with israelPauline is in the pocket of the miners tooCapitalists love the right because they distract retards from massive upward wealth transfer by talking about trannies and browns.https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2026/feb/02/gina-rinehart-political-donations-hancock-prospecting
>>64889551>Capitalists love the right because they distract retards from massive upward wealth transfer by talking about trannies and browns.>Joins the party of trannies and browns????
>>64889531>then the money they loan needs to actually existIt will exist after you print it.>The solution is nationalized banking so the bank prints money and it's owned by the government.That's what I said.
>>64889555Yeah, it's almost as if I don't think trannies and browns are the problem.I wish the left would shut the fuck up about them but there are too many uni kids in their ranks for that.
Air craft carriers are usless waste of dick waving money for Australia. A fleet of Nuclear Powered Submarines has much better utility. May God grant Australia a Government willing to procure at least 10 SSNs
