Hmm, the name rings a bell, but its very dim. Yobbo was in charge when i was there in the early eighties.( He was a grumpy so and so :-) )
IIRC Eric Fletcher was running a lot of it at the time of the Island Seaway.

Collins in operations is the world beater of conventional submarines and quieter than most nuclear subs

Anything is quiter than a nuke, we probably should have kept the Oberons.
When we were in germany, we had a whole group dedicated to getting a design that our pollies would buy. At the same time, IIRC the US sent a few admirals over to see if they might buy a few conventional subs, as they needed some "targets" for their nukes to practice against.
Totally different mentality.
