Australia has announced a $2.75 billion investment in a new submarine construction yard at Osborne in South Australia, as part of its AUKUS pact with the US and UK. The facility will build nuclear-powered submarines for decades to come, with a focus on sovereign capability.
The AUKUS arrangement has survived a review by the Trump administration, with defense leaders from the US, UK, and Australia reaffirming their commitment to the trilateral deal. The agreement outlines the sale of at least three US-made Virginia-class submarines to Australia followed by the creation of SSN AUKUS nuclear-powered submarines for both the UK and Australia.
