    Sure we might be a total irrelevance globally, but at least we get to be a microcosm for the subsumption of the British Empire into the American one

      I feel like America would just think “Aww, that’s sweet - they named their submarines after former Prime Ministers” if they had any awareness of Australia (they don’t).

      I vote for naming them after Benedict Arnold and Julius & Ethel Rosenberg or something. I’d want it to make the designations sting every time an American has to say their names.

    That’s fine, the US hasn’t guaranteed Australia complete control of Australian politics for the past half a century anyway.
