It was not so long ago we were having learning difficulties putting things like the initial AWD or Collins subs together (talked to one of the initial engineers) - but it's been realised as a national sovereignty imperative to be able to build this stuff at home. From here you develop the lifetime trade technical skills that todays apprentices will be handing down to kids in the 2060s.
Would it be more cost effective and efficent to have private industy run this for government?

Sorry did that sound sarcastic?
