Australia publishes AUKUS submarine industrial strategy – a Royal Navy perspective
Australia’s recently released AUKUS Submarine Industry Strategy marks a step forward in the country’s ambition to field a conventionally-armed, nuclear-powered submarine fleet, built in close partnership with the United Kingdom and the United States. While much of the focus has been on how Australia will develop its sovereign nuclear capability, the strategy carries significant implications for the UK, both for British industry and the Royal Navy.
