What catastrophe happened to Collins project ?

Question

<<However, the submarines suffered from one major defect which the media and the public never really picked up on. The combat system - that is the computer systems in the submarine used to find enemies and fire torpedoes or missiles at them - has been by far the largest problem for the Collins class submarines. The earlier Oberon class submarines had a largely Australian-built combat system which was one of the best in the world. >> ABC Lateline

Didn't the legacy system have this functionality already ?

So did they have a working model already ?

So was someone paid money to not deliver a working system ?

There would have been legacy simulators. These could have been used to assist Collins project. They obviously weren't used. Someone must have ordered that they not be used.

Under water detonation! Squids, scarecharges, or, bigger ones, the torpedo&#039;s!
