The Govt, if it has clarity & cojones, will pull up the IN and tell them in no unclear terms that the P-75I is dead. A "whole of country effort" will be set in motion, starting now, to accelerate the development of homegrown SSK (Project 76)

For just the cost of one P-75I boat, the entire R&D for P-76 can be funded! If more money is needed, so be it. We can afford it & it stimulates our own economy

The deadline must remain the same - the first P-76 hits the water in 7 years, with progressively better boats every year after that. A healthy run of say 15 or more SSKs must be committed

Its a shame if we cannot pull this off, but call ourselves an emerging superpower
