Any decision for Japan to build a nuclear-powered submarine is a huge step that would require the nation’s support politically and financially for years, Gilday said. That decision must be made with the understanding of “the totality of the ecosystem” for the initiative and that it will take decades to complete. Change “eco-system” for such a project requires “the right people, the right training, the right platforms, the right workforce” and sustainment, he said.
リンク先のギルディ氏というのは現在のアメリカ海軍参謀総長(米海軍のトップ)で、この人の発言はアメリカ海軍の総意と受け取ってもいい
そんな人が公のメディアで「長い時間を要する」と前置きしつつも「日本は原潜を建造保有するべきだ」と発言してるんだけど、これ割とすごい大ニュースなのでは?
