you understand that the contract had multiple phases and at the end of each of these phases it had an opt out clause where we would pay them for work done. this is what happened, the french knew it could happen and knew it might happened.
this is not the fuck up, the fuck up is telling them over text msg lmao.

French boats need to be refueled every 6-8 years and can only be refueled in France. i'm sure you can understand why this would never be workable.
we asked them to design a conventional boat, they choose to modify a nuke boat then start from new.

road map will drop in march so we will find out then, the only way it could even take 40 years if we dont go with an off the shelf design and build them all in aus. In all likelihood we will be using a nuke boat built in the USA by mid 2030 or early 2040
