I thnik the Sea Kings were fine in the 60's and 70's, the replacements in the 90's would probably have been fine too if they weren't cancelled.
The subs are an example that sometimes trying to pay less can cost you more. The government never should have bought those heaps of crap. We ended up buying them for a lot less than new ones would have cost but what is the point if we can't even use them.
