According
to Izumi Ishii, the submarine offered for the Australian SEA1000 program
will be "a quite different submarine compared to the Japanese Soryu
because of its American combat system, larger size and increase range
but it will have some commonality with the Soryu". MHI envisions two design centers: One in Japan and one in Australia with a growing Australian portion as the program transitions from concept design to basic design and eventually detailed design. A full scale mock-up of the submarine would be built in Australia for basic training (but no shore integration center is planned for now). While both MHI and KHI (Kawasaki) build Soryus for the JMSDF, only MHI is involved in the competitive evaluation process for SEA1000. The Japanese government has set up a website to help Australian companies getting in touch with Japan industries for the program. MHI will be conducting 1 on 1 meetings with companies accross Australia over the next few weeks. Soryu Class SSK Technical datasheet |
