ONE hundred Royal Australian Navy submariners will be flown around the world at taxpayers' expense in coming weeks to conduct submarine escape training, despite those training facilities existing at their base in Perth.
Their $2.3 million business-class trip comes as a confidential audit report on the management of the navy's Collins Class submarines, obtained by The Weekend Australian, delivered a damning assessment of submarine escape and rescue services, saying they were unsafe, unreliable and had been mismanaged.

when they refer to "east coast" they mean Rimouski QC. Our escape training is carried out there at the Marine Institute. The equipment they use was built in Canada and the same company provided the RAN with the equipment they could/should be using.
