_ You maybe right, Japanese did not export weapons for so long, they maybe lack experience for this section, but if Aussie turn another choice, it'll take more time with Type 216 or A-26 Sub class still on papers.
_ If Aussie was support for UN/International Laws, so it's good for ASEAN countries.
Type 216 is the "HOT" Choice to replace our Colin Class. But again, this is only a white paper stage. Everything from any country will still be considered. Especially the Swedish Gotland Class.
And as for our SCS stance, we remain neutral as our stance, we sue for internation abitration. That is the only stance we got.
You are such a naive person. You think, don´t think; assuming China can do, cannot do; so better you wait on the sideline.
Dude, if the cannon start to fire, then it is too late for everybody, including Australia and New Zealand. The SC sea will turn into a battlefield, in a worst case no any civil/commercial vessel can sail through.
How can you export your stuffs to Japan, China, Korea and others? Wake up!
Chill man, you forgot i am answering this as an Australian Point of View, not an American nor Swede (Well, sometime i forgot too...)
Aussie Navy is not as big as you think. If we are to light fire in SCS against the Chinese, the fire will be blown out in less than 3 days. We don't even have a destroyer to begin with. And we are an island nation. If this is not much of our business, we will not engage as if we can do anything with 16 frigates and 30 patrol boat.......
Don't forget we have 50,000 mile coast to defend too.
Basically, unless they shoot at our shipping, we will not do anything, nor will we be able to do anything.
We cannot expand our navy for something happen far far away in East Asia, our people will not like this.
I am not being naive, but being subjective. You don't live in Aus so you don't really know our situation.
If you are asking me as an American POV, i would say we send those mutherfuker Carrier and raze the Chinese. We can spare those resources.
As an Australian. We mind our own business, as the biggest island in the world, we do have a VERY VERY VERY Weak Navy to defend with.
