James Goldrick’s recent post for The Strategist shows that many classes of submarine remain in service for a period of 30–40 years. By this calculation alone, the Collins Class won’t need to retire until the mid-2030s, especially if they were to undergo a life-of-type extension program. However, the real measure of the longevity of a submarine isn’t its age in years but rather the number of deep dives it has performed.
