Ah, cool. So, O2 replenishment is still required. Ta!

America invade Australia?
I thought they'd already done that...
... to just about every country.
I'm probably wrong, but AFAIK subs (navy war vessels) don't actually need much "new" or "introduced" oxygen when submerged.
Us humans breathe out just as much oxygen as we breathe in - it's just that it's contaminated with carbon - CO2.
I don't think that nuclear powered subs "generate" or "create" much oxygen for the purposes of life support.
Instead, subs use CO2 "scrubbers" that are replaced at regular intervals. (See space flight, especially Apollo 13...)
As stated, "diesel electric" subs ALSO need to either surface or "snorkel" when running on diesel to recharge their batteries.
There IS a seal in that photo.
To see it, ya gotta put on some goggles and stick your head in the water.
Port? Use of "port" to denote a bag, suitcase, or other "carry all"?
Only octogenarians use "port" in this manner...
Yanks want to hear Australian characters being voiced by Yanks.
An Aussie character, voiced by an Aussie, will be heard as British by a Yank.

"Road usage" has been taxed through the fuel excise paid at the bowser. This method is far from perfect, but it does allow reasonably anonymous travel.
In the future, the gov't will have (at least) two ways of taxing the road usage of EVs.
One way will be fair, equitable, based on 'mileage', and anonymous.
The other way will permit the government to conduct 'real time' monitoring of every vehicle's speed and position.
Our gov't will choose this second option, and with bipartisan support.
The French wouldn't say that. They'd say whatever is French for "Sign here!"
We'd then pay them a few more BILLION dollars, and the French would wait a week or two for another policy reversal.
At the rate we're going, we'll end up buying our subs from China...
Yeah. It's like "Foster's" supposedly being our national beer.
Who the f*** in Australia actually drinks Foster's? (Rhetorical question...)
Sean Bean? Naaah.
The husband survived.
Sean Bean pretty much only takes roles where his character dies...!

Wearing clothing without washing it first is NOT advisable.
When a label reads, "wash before wearing," it is a safety instruction.
If one wishes to wear new underpants that are "factory fresh" complete with formaldehyde, go for it. Just don't act surprised when diagnosed with leukaemia...
