On March 13, 2023, a joint statement by US President Biden, Australian Prime Minister Albanese and UK Prime Minister Sunak mentioned that the United States plans to sell 3 to 5 Virginia-class nuclear-powered submarines to Australia in the early 2030s.

The joint statement by US President Biden, Australian Prime Minister Albanese, and UK Prime Minister Sunak mentioned that the US plans to sell 3-5 Virginia-class nuclear-powered submarines to Australia in the early 2030s; the UK will also provide new SSN-AUKUS nuclear-powered submarines to Australia by the late 2030s. In addition, Australia will launch its own built SSN-AUKUS submarine in early 2040.

According to information on the Australian Department of Defense website, Australia will become one of seven countries in the world with nuclear-powered submarines. The location for building SSN-AUKUS submarines will be in Adelaide, capital city of South Australia.
 
 
Regarding this, Brent Clark, CEO of the Australian Industry and Defence Network (AIDN), stated to our station that the plan will significantly enhance Australia's military industry scale.

Clark said: "Australia's military industry will invest in developing new factories, cutting-edge equipment and personnel training. The challenges and opportunities involved cannot be underestimated. This is a rare opportunity for Australian companies to participate in such significant investments."

Clark emphasized that in addition to Adelaide, where SSN-AUKUS submarines are being built, Australia will also build facilities across the country to expand its military industry scale.

Hughes Jiji, director of Strategic Analysis Australia, also commented on this: "This is good news for industries near Stirling Base in Western Australia, Osborne Shipyard in Adelaide and Port Kembla south of Sydney where a submarine base may be built."

Ross Babbage, a former defense official representing Australia at technology sharing negotiations with AUKUS partners pointed out that the AUKUS submarine agreement meets Australia's strategic needs for deterring China.

Babbage said: "Multiple US and UK submarines are expected to enter service in Australia as early as 2027. In other words, it’s going to happen soon.”

Regarding China's criticism of Australia introducing nuclear-powered submarines,Babbage refuted by saying: “Our actions were actually caused by their (China) behavior. They continue to threaten Taiwan with force and invade Taiwan’s airspace and territorial waters. They should expect democratic allies supporting each other just like we supported Ukraine against an invasion from an authoritarian state.”

Hughes Jiji also believes that the joint statement by the US-UK-Australia reflects that deterring Chinese military threats has become a long-term security policy for Australia which won't change even if there is a change of government party."The new Labor Party government firmly implements policies worth up to AUD 368 billion initiated by previous governments," Hughes Jiji said.

Hughes Jiji also stressed that besides introducing submarines effectively deterring Chinese threats requires early deployment targeting hypersonic missiles,military artificial intelligence,and cyber warfare capabilities among others by all three countries involved -the US,the UK,and,Australia. view all
