CANBERRA, March 27 (Xinhua) -- A former Japanese naval chief confirmed on Friday his country was capable of building 12 submarines for Australia in Adelaide, should Japan win the Australian government's 40 billion U.S. dollar tender.
News Corp reported on Friday that former Japanese Navy Commander in Chief, Yoji Koda, had said it was "feasible and possible" to build submarines in Australia.
Construction companies from France and Germany are competing with the Japanese government for the right to build Australia's next class of submarines

The report came after former chairman of the Submarine Institute of Australia retired Rear Admiral Peter Briggs said it would be a "significant national disaster" if the submarines were built overseas. A negative impact of 22 billion U.S. dollars on the Australia economy has been predicted if the contract is fulfilled entirely overseas.
Vice Admiral Koda said it got "much easier" if the submarines were built in Adelaide.
"If all the boats are built in Japan, it's very difficult -- we 're not so good at English," he said, "Building all of them in Japan is not realistic."
Koda

The Australian government is said to favor the Japanese bid.
Rear Admiral Briggs, speaking at a submarine discussion at the Royal United Services Institute, said the Australian government needed to consider two options after its "competitive evaluation process," rather than just one.
"A two-horse race would guarantee the best capability and the best price

"Didn't feel so good hitting the ball yet. Wasn't quite getting used to the surface and now the last few days have been much better and I'm happy that in the match it kind of all worked really well.
"For the start of a tournament it's never clear if that's going to be the case. I'm very relieved and just really pleased."
Federer, who will celebrate his 33rd birthday on Friday, has reached the -final four times winning the title twice
