小结：澳大利亚认为苍龙级续航力不足，自持力不足，燃料电池AIP技术尚未证明自己的安全性。

最重要的一点则是日方厂商对以及官员对这个deal极度缺乏热情。日本官僚体系并不想自我改革来适应安倍咄咄逼人的新战略

只靠美日领导人施压就想 推进亚洲版北约，显然是不够的。

The Cabinet of Australia’s National Security Committee has purportedly ruled out Japan’s bid for a $50 billion ($38.8 billion) contract–Australia’s largest defense deal ever–to build the country’s new submarine fleet in partnership with Australian industry, according to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC).

“While it is not clear if the committee has made a final decision, it has all but eliminated the Japanese bid to build a fleet of 12 submarines to replace the Royal Australian Navy’s ageing Collins Class subs,” ABC revealed this Wednesday. Japan is offering a variant of its 4,000-ton Soryu-class diesel-electric attack stealth submarine fitted with a new lithium-ion battery propulsion system.

Australian defense officials have voiced their concerns over a Japanese offer that initially emerged as an “understanding struck between [former Australia Prime Minister Tony] Abbott and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe,” the report continued.

Among other things, the Australian Defense Department appears concerned that any deal signed with Japan could be negated by the powerful Japanese bureaucracy, which allegedly showed ”less enthusiasm (…) for the deal and that would undo it in the long run.”
