Pakistan has sold nuclear weapons to several countries.  Taiwan is 
rumored to have bought a dozen from them and are using them to threaten 
the destruction of the Three Gorges Dam if China attacks Taiwan.

Several other countries are rumored to have bought nuclear weapons from 
Pakistan.

Australia is buying several Virgina class attack submarines from the 
USA.  One wonders what armament those subs will have.
