> So they have failed to deliver for five years with huge cost overruns and delays and get all mad when their customer says enough is enough. The contract was signed in 2019 after a complicated negociation and is only in the design phase. If you go read the Australian reports on it, you will see that the main cause of delay is actually Australia. Contrary to France which has experience working on this kind of deal - they sold submarines to Brasil and India and boats to many more countries - Australia is not used to do this kind of work and it shows. The Morrison government however is all too happy to pin the blame on France especially considering the deal was mostly done by Turnbull. If you expect the American contract to go smoothly and with no overrun, you are in for quite a surprise I fear.
