Re: Selling Shipbuilding Secrets

Yeah, me too, I cant see this being any different than the US companies that have been soliciting any info on the projects, its probably just to get supply contracts. I believe the real story is the appalling behavior of "security forces and intelligence overreach" and their need to prove ...
