おはよございますTwitter! Greetings from a stunningly beautiful Chiba where #DSEI_JAPAN_2023 is about to kick off. Let's do a proper thread on submarines and ask a crucial question: is there a case of post-1945 sub development to gain guidance on challenges Australia might face?
The answer is: yes, that is Japan post-1945. The following thread reviews and summarises some key points in work I have done on JMSDF submarine development and that can be found here: tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.108…, and here: tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.108… - let's put experience in context:

That's certainly the case of JMSDF.
That's certainly the case of JMSDF.
