"The United Kingdom’s Royal Navy, the Australian Navy and NATO also make use of equipment that incorporates the Juergensen component."

Not true, the Australian Navy does not use any Juergensen components.
Whatever happened to truth in advertising?

Cheers,

You're very correct. The RN chose the Divex Stealth, which has not gone into service as yet, and (in fact) they have just extended the contracts for service and support of the CDBA with Carleton. They are also well aware that the Viper E electronics they liked during the trials are available for the Mark 16.

During the interview, I discussed the Viper E and Mark 16 - I believe the writer lumped Carleton and us together as regards the RN/RAN.

And this wasn't an "advertisement" - we were approached by the writer and asked to comment on the USN EOD units. We don't advertise in the publication.

Hope this helps clear things up for you.
