The Labor government is also hoping to know soon if an interim submarine solution is needed
Defence Minister Richard Marles is working to announce by March which nuclear submarine Australia will acquire, in line with theWithin nine months, Labor also hopes to know whether an "interim" conventionally powered submarine fleet is needed to bridge the gap between the retirement of the Collins class and the arrival of nuclear-powered boats.
But Mr Marles said that suggestion was "optimistic in the extreme" and it is clear the former government's plan would have delivered submarines by the 2040s."I think bringing that time forward to eight years from now would be extremely optimistic."
Great, we can roll up the plans and swat some torpedos with them.
Just one bloody Question, why do we need Nuclear Subs, what in hell are they good for, and how many Australian People do they feed or keep Healthy !!!
New sub that won't be able to dive 🤣🤣🤣🤣 just like F-35
Labor & nuclear subs makes me nervous
March 2023? when would we get them? 2050 too late We would be a Chinese colony Now we have nearly 2mils Chinese We have mini Chinatowns in the suburbs They r pro China
Hey! That's a shitty drawing of a sub! I'm not paying for that!
Looking at the comments, assuming it is a go, then why there is a bias focus on US sub? Astute class from UK sub is equally a contender. Check your bias.
This is too...oooooo expensive. Before we can see the plan we have to pay billions Euro to France. 😅😂🤣
Waste of time and money,
Finally a rational approach! Hope the plan is much better that Scott Mo / Peter Dutton's attempt which jeopardize this strategic infrastructure (if any) for their own selfish election tilt designed to deceive naïve electors but failed.
Meanwhile AlboMP is travelling to Paris in search of new French subs.
Our subs are so stealthy that even the government doesn't know of their existence!
I have it in writing from the people behind this that nuclear submarines are not a defensive option but meant to sit on doorstep of others threatening them as a deterrent. I don't think we should be threatening others.
hundreds of billions more to be wasted on a platform we do NOT need. nuclear submarines fit the narrative of untied states and untied kingdom requirements, not aust tactical/strategic requirements we need an improved collins class as well as many dedicated icollins asm boats
Australia are you exercise with political Dreams for Defense , when have you stop Contracts ,so often , Change your mind about british-USA .What sub if ever build when you have given orders from above?.
Labor were able to undo the damage loose lips Dutton did? Watch boofhead now claim the work of hundreds of ADF project folks. Still think SMR’s of same type as new SSN, staffed by defence and owned by Govt = cheap wholesale power to grid. Skill set + and puts FF out of business.
AUKUS / ANZUS / Five Eyes / the Anglo sphere. All this white supremacy focused nonsence has to end. We are a multicultural nation living on the global South. Time we wake up to that reality. The future is taking shape & we're on the outer staring at former glory auspol
Virginia class ... by the time AUS receives them, they'll be a little dated. But better than nothing.
