US Prioritizes Delivery of Virginia-class Nuclear Submarines to Australia Under AUKUS Pact. Shocked

Indeed, the people who first put it together ensured that AUKUS has a life of its own independent of any political changes in the three participating countries.

And if all three changes?

Another great article by Peter Briggs. It is a real travesty that he . has apparently fallen out with the Submarine “Think Tank” in Defence, as his views quite often don’t fit with the required narrative. He was an excellent CO in my past life and earned a reputation as a fiercely competitive Skipper and not afraid to anger our alliance members by taking photos of the propellors and underwater fittings and fixtures on their state of the art maritime capability.

They should listen carefully to what he has to say.

We certainly need a new submarine class now, not in 10 or 20 years time. Apart from filling the capability gap, it will get the shipyards back in the construction groove and provide platforms to increase the number of trained submariners. All this is required before we acquire SSNs.

While the media and politicians spout rubbish, things are moving quietly along in the background with the minimum of fuss and bother.
