The whole Attack class was trying to build a conventional submarine to do the job of a nuclear submarine, and I.e, and cope with Aus enormous coastline and sea approaches

In literally any conflict with China, the sub would use up precious fuel and energy like just getting to potential choke points in the Indonesian archipelago

also like Its even worse if deployed to the South China Sea to hit Chinese infrastructure, and Conventional boats have to surface periodically to take on air and run the diesel engines to charge the batteries, and This leaves them vulnerable to attack and essentially precludes remaining on station that far from home

like Only a nuclear powered submarine can do a job like that
