Australia has been left with just one fully operational submarine as the rest of its aging Collins class fleet undergoes urgent repairs or waits to complete scheduled upgrades. The ABC can reveal five of its six submarines are currently docked in Adelaide and Western Australia, but defence insists it could put at least two boats to sea "if required".
