Collins-class submarines

Collins-class submarines are a fleet of six diesel-electric attack submarines operated by the Australian Navy, designed for stealth and intelligence gathering. Built in Australia with Canadian technology, they can operate underwater for extended periods using batteries and diesel engines. They are equipped with advanced sonar systems and weapons, including torpedoes, to detect and neutralize enemy targets. Their primary roles include maritime surveillance, protecting national waters, and deterrence. Known for their stealth capabilities, they can secretly monitor enemy movements and respond quickly to threats, making them a vital part of Australia's defense strategy.
