Compared to a Los Angeles-class US nuclear sub, which can stay under water for three months -- that's reliant on food for the crew, not anything about the sub itself. "Days verses months, ma'am" wouldn't have been so hard, nor been an issue of "classified" information ...

They were confident that because nobody else offered diesel submarines approaching this capability and Australia is still steadfastly opposed to nuclear power, Naval Group had a monopoly and could pull whatever shenanigans they wanted and Australia would have to accept them.

To put some context into this. Pauline Hanson wanted Australia to buy nuclear submarines back in 2017. And she couldn't understand why we were going to buy anything other than nuclear submarines, because they can stay under water for a long time. And the rear admiral even told her the nuclear submarines were out of the question. But she was confused about the propulsion system. In the end though Australia is to get the submarines that she wanted.

yup agreed, a total karen if ever I heard or saw one.

Pump jet is a pump arrangement that is ducted for efficiency and accoustic signature attenuation via limiting prop tip cavatation in the same way that the winglets on a airliner limits wingtip vortices. It stops spillover from the high pressure side of the prop to the low pressure side by fencing it off. Its quieter and gives a bit more oomf.

I almost wish the rear admiral had instead said something along the lines of: Senator Hanson, your absolutely correct about the submerged dive time, that is the accumulative total of all crew members holding their breath for as long as they can underwater. As each person differs considerably in their ability to do this by several seconds, the dive time happens to be 19 min, 47 sec. But we decided to round it up a bit to 20 min to make our potential adversaries think we have a longer endurance than we actually have. Next question!

Australia ended up cancelling the A$90 billion contract with France to build diesel subs. By terms of the contract they only needed to pay A$90 million in compensation but as a sweetener to France upped it to A$835. Now (Sep 2021) buying 8 nuclear subs off America. Fun fact: France didn't have any diesel subs one the shelf and had to convert existing nuclear propulsions ones to diesel.

Are they any good? - If a country can't get American toys, they buy Russian or German. Never French. Why do you think that is? - Why do you need such a big boat. Why a nuke, converted to use diesels? Why not a Swedish Gotland-class diesel-electric? - Nobody has ever used a pump-jet on anything bigger than a torpedo.That either means that the French are very smart and everybody else missed a trick.
