The Aussies use SSKs IIRC, so I assume they would be better for some purposes, though the US rarely uses our subs in a hunter-killer role that much any more. Australia's subs are perfect for their expected roles (lying in wait in the various straits throughout Indonesia), while the US SSNs preform our tasks (launching cruise missiles, attacking battle groups) effectively as well. I don't think it's fair to say the Collins Class is better than the Virginia's, just better at fighting other submarines. Their lack of a VLS is a major flaw as well IMO.
