Zusammenfassung: | A unique and outstanding military and industrial achievement, the Collins class submarine project was also plagued with difficulties and mired in politics. Its story is one of heroes and villains, grand passions, intrigue, lies, spies and backstabbing. It is as well a story of enormous commitment and resolve to achieve what many thought impossible. The building of these submarines was Australia's largest, most expensive and most controversial military project. From initiation in the 1981–2 budget to the delivery of the last submarine in 2003, the total cost was in excess of six billion dollars. Over 130 key players were interviewed for this book, and the Australian Defence Department allowed access to its classified archives and the Australian Navy archives. Vividly illustrated with photographs from the collections of the Royal Australian Navy and ASC Pty Ltd, The Collins Class Submarine Story: Steel, Spies and Spin, first published in 2008, is a riveting and accessibly written chronicle of a grand-scale quest for excellence |

Vividly illustrated with photographs from the collections of the Royal Australian Navy and ASC Pty Ltd, The Collins Class Submarine Story: Steel, Spies and Spin, first published in 2008, is a riveting and accessibly written chronicle of a grand-scale quest for excellence Geschichte 1981-2003 gnd rswk-swf Geschichte Submarines (Ships) / Australia / History Marine (DE-588)4074570-3 gnd rswk-swf Unterseeboot (DE-588)4078646-8 gnd rswk-swf Schiffbau (DE-588)4052397-4 gnd rswk-swf Australien Australien (DE-588)4003900-6 gnd rswk-swf Australien (DE-588)4003900-6 g Marine (DE-588)4074570-3 s Unterseeboot (DE-588)4078646-8 s Schiffbau (DE-588)4052397-4 s Geschichte 1981-2003 z 1\p DE-604 Woolner, Derek 1946- (DE-588)1147075972 aut Erscheint auch als Druckausgabe 978-0-521-86894-5 Erscheint auch als Druckausgabe 978-1-107-62776-5 https://doi.org/10.1017/CBO9781139195386 Verlag URL des Erstveröffentlichers Volltext 1\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk |
