Thank you my friend...for keeping me straight.

Those were obviously three Collins boats...I simply clicked on the worng pic this morning and did not double check.

Embarassing. I fixed the post.

Here are a couple of more pics of what I consider to be among the best AIP SSKs in the world:

For me no doubt they are loaded as bear :) 30 weapons and especialy very good sonar with US electronic systems as use Australia with Collins and futur classe these US systems are know for be the best for get a fire solution.
Also deep diving only SSK which can compete with the best SSNs ( last US/UK and last Sov/Russians classes) max 500 m some say 600 m as the best Russians and Sea Wolf.
Even if the Yuan is good the Soryu is sure better, also different.

Virginia max 34 kn max 490 -520 m, Seawolf 40 kn, Carter a little less more big, 600 m Astute 30 kn about 500 m

Yes the JApanese operate the P-3C...and it is still a VERY, VERY good ASW and Maritime Patrol aircraft.

But they will be replacing thers with their own P-1, not the P-8.

I believe the P-1 is pretty close to the world premier ASW aicraft, along with the P-8.

I believe the Japanese have built 36 P-1s so far.

Although the P-8 started coming out later, they have delivered almost 60 of them now.
