These stealth-like objects are a bit of an enigma. There are only six Collins class submarines in the Royal Australian Navy and when journalist Nadine Morton was invited on board to check them out she jumped at the chance. She has delved deep to find out whose on board, where they come from and most importantly what the submariners get to eat.
