The United States is reportedly considering a plan to help Australia acquire a fleet of nuclear-powered submarines years ahead of schedule.
12 months on from the landmark AUKUS agreement, the proposal could see Australia’s first boats built in America – plugging a severe capability gap while domestic production is ramped up.

We create the issues to sell weapons to other's.
Waste of money and too little to late, because basically we need them now.
The nature of modern warfare is rapidly changing.
China will have developed hypersonic torpedoes, or underwater missiles that will reach a speed of 360km/h in a couple of years, effectively rendering the current crop of nuclear Attack submarines useless.
Submarines are primarily offensive not defensive and we are far better off looking at other types of deterrence.
One immediate solution might be to equip our Collins Class subs with smaller tactical nukes and extend their range without having to refuel as often.
France: screw you guys 😤
No domestic production. Just buy the damn things. Fit out a domestic maintenance facility only, you'll get enough jobs and political points & photo ops , plus enough high paying jobs to inject tax into the economy. Get over your wet dreams of building it here.
They had better hurry up with that or the things will be redundant by the time they arrive.
What’s Black and Hard. Throbs and is full of Seaman? A Submarine of course. And since we are all thinking alike. The issue of Viruses and other Nasty diseases to be found in the South China seas. ALL….repeat ALL US Submarine’s will report to San Francisco….of course. The concerns of wife’s and families must be addressed. There….utilizing the latest in prophylactic technology. A micro membrane will be rolled on to ALL…..in and out going large black assets. It’s important that you are protected at all times. Reverse engineering has made ribbed for pleasure………..ALL OURS! That is All.
Translation the US is so concerned about China there just going to pay there allies to fight if need be.this isn’t a new tactic by the US
The Japanese fishing boats skipper was frightened…his crew couldn’t believe it. A large sea monster under the boat! Huge. Menacing. They radioed it in. Scared. Nobody believed them. Except? The skipper of the USS Nautilus. It was making its world record under water cruise. The skipper smiled. The Japanese skipper had seèn a Kaju. A very…..very dangerous sea monster. More then ever.
The answer is going to be sorry the USN needs 40 more submarines first.
If Biden has ANYTHING to do with it. Don't hold your breath! He Couldn't Care Less about Australia!🖕😡💪🇺🇸🇦🇺

Stop wasting my taxpayers money!
Only beneficiary is the military industrial complex 🖕
Biden will back walk this as well.
the game that the polititions are playing…i would want my subs now sort thing not ten yrs from now…i learned 1 thing in the last 3 yrs shit happens fast
Do it now!
China with their 80 odd Subs will be trembling when we get our ONE, lol. What a complete waste of taxpayers money.
Thankyou President Biden. This will be a massive boost to our manufacturing. Making USA great again!!!!
Australia foolish unclear Submarine plans

What is the known manufacturing timeline from haul laid Down to commissioning into active service first Astute 2001 commissioned 2010 9 years, First Virginia Class 1999 commissioned 2004 5years as building production methods are streamlined the time is reduced. Australia has a Lot of Heavy Defense Industry Infrastructure to provide Capacity and competence compliance to Quality of Build for any selected design Astute or Virginia Class
there are short term alternatives .. Vanguard SSBN's .. or converted Ohio Class SSGN's with a payload of 154 or more Cruise Missiles would make cruising the Pacific a safer place .. and give China and the Pacific Island Leaders cause to Pause .. their Rhetoric ..
Tyrants love nuclear bullshit, that's for sure.
If you Aussies want it soon, best get your dock workers and navy staff working along side US or UK folks for how to handle the parts… Over here in the states to work on a dock that deals with the subs you gotta go to sub school. Its a bit more then just getting the pink slip and letting you sail off in the subs… You all so need your docs and dry-docks to handle the subs…. Keep in mind.. The us only has a few company's that can make them. I think we can make 2 or 3 subs a year… So if the US Navy puts its subs on hold, right now it would take 3-4 years to get your 8 subs… And we gotta keep building are subs to replace ageing hulls that is getting removed from service/navy books…
Canada should join in on the deal….. Oh yay we don't do Nuclear
where the fuck has the upload date gone?
news without a date is utterly useless.
Because what signifies you're a world power more than spending money you don't have for things you can't use? Let's go Brandon.
It would be good if Japan joins AUKUS then you have Uk Japan AUS USA navy all together. Even just Japan Uk and AUS can match the chinese Navy right now. In 2040 it might be different but right now with that group you have a Navy thats at least 3 times stronger than China and they know it
Meanwhile… China has free reign to buy more and more farmland in Aus and US ! Utter hypocrisy… "Control the food and you control the people,".
It's almost like the current US administration is positioning the entire world for war.
At least the US is keen to help us with our defence, Labor isnt
Didn't America recall submarines for falsifying metal testing reports, ahhh the tax payer is paying for it anyways nevermind.
Fuxk Ozz. Keep the nuke subs away from them.
No matter the stock market crash one needs to have different portfolio, I already invested in Forex and Crypto which are really profitable
