Nuclear submarines may be 'most complex man-made machine’
Published at : October 26, 2021
Liberal MP Andrew Wallace says nuclear submarines are said to be “the most complex man-made machine that exist".
“There’s no suggestion that these things aren’t complex, or suggestion that these things are easy to deliver because they’re not,” he told Sky News host Catherine McGregor.
“Now, the US have built 17 Virginia-class submarines, they’ve got another 33, I believe, to build, or that are already on the assembly line.
“It’s difficult for us just to slot into that and say ‘we’ll take one of those’.”
