Duquesne's name connects Stromboli with later submarine plans

The Dutch-Spanish alliance illustrates the operational difficulties that can persist between partners fighting a common enemy. Duquesne's name also connects Stromboli with later French warships, including a planned submarine in the Barracuda/Suffren family. In January 2021, the Shortfin Barracuda-derived Attack class was still described as Australia's intended Collins-class replacement. That planned design connection explains the comparison with the Royal Australian Navy. It belongs to the procurement outlook at the time of the recording.
