I undertook to get back to the Senate in relation to a question from Senator Forshaw in relation to the Remora. Defence continues to work on the recovery of the Remora. The discussions have commenced with United States Navy Submarine Salvage Office to undertake the salvage of Remora once this team has completed recovery of the Black Hawk helicopter off Fiji. Whilst the Australian submarine escape and rescue capability is diminished, the international submarine escape and rescue community remains available as a contingency should a submarine become disabled.
