A unique and outstanding military and industrial achievement, the
Collins class submarine project was also plagued with difficulties
and mired in politics. Its story is one of heroes and villains,
grand passions, intrigue, lies, spies and backstabbing. It is as
well a story of enormous commitment and resolve to achieve what
many thought impossible. The building of these submarines was
Australia's largest, most expensive and most controversial military
project. From initiation in the 1981 82 budget to the delivery of
the last submarine in 2003, the total cost was in excess of six
billion dollars. Over 130 key players were interviewed for this
book, and the Australian Defence Department allowed access to its
classified archives and the Australian Navy archives. Vividly
illustrated with photographs from the collections of the Royal
Australian Navy and ASC Pty Ltd, The Collins Class Submarine Story:
Steel, Spies and Spin, first published in 2008, is a riveting and
accessibly written chronicle of a grand-scale quest for excellence.
