Talk:Oberon-class submarine

message: :The Oberons were arguably the best conventional submarine class of its time, with an astonishing reputation for quietness that allowed it to exist into the 21st century until replaced by newer classes such as the Collins and Victoria classes in Australia and Canada respectively. In fact, the ability of the O-boats to run in total silence enabled Australian submarines to successfully attack USS Enterprise, despite a huge number of supporting ships 'protecting' it. This led to the U.S. re-instating diesel boats into their fleet with the Los Angeles class SS.
Is the part in Italic font really true? It looks like a hoax or a mistake to me. I can't imagine the US will replace their nuclear subs with diesel boats. The LA class is also an SSN. A reference about the exercise and date on which this "attack" occurred would also be helpful. Sietse 11:32, 5 Jan 2005 (UTC)

HMCS Onondaga, HMCS Ojibwa, HMCS Okanagan and HMCS Olympus were purchased between 1965 and 1968... they may be able to get $50,000 to $60,000 each as scrap metal.JohnnyB 16:12, May 25, 2005 (UTC)
*I've added this information to the first three subs' articles. Olympus doesn;t have an article. -- saberwyn 11:01, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

message: * IMHO, that's an improper way to clear the fact tags... should provide a ref to Jane's and your source footnoted specific to the datums questioned. I'm not the only one that will put this together as counter-intuitive, and since the specific and explicit data were questioned and then rechecked it would be more appropriate to footnote those statistics as well.
* Since your info on Jane's is sketchy, perhaps you'd like to finish? // FrankB 20:15, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Oberon class sub for sale?

message: I've just uploaded what I think is a fairly good photo showing the equipment masts of an Oberon class submarine, specificly the Australian boat HMAS Onslow. I don't think there's a good place for it in the article now, but if a section on detailing the equipment fitted to the submarines (such as the radar, ESM, periscopes) was developed, it would be a useful illustration. The masts are identified in the Commons caption, and a source provided. -- saberwyn 04:24, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

message: I have just deleted the dimensions of the type D7420 lead-acid cell. They were quoted as 4 ft * 0.16 ft * 0.12 ft: that gives an external volume of about half a gallon, which is not plausible.
