US Submarine Deal with Australia in Jeopardy
Update: 2025-12-09
Description
Australias Aukus submarine deal faces a major challenge as the US struggles to meet its own navys requirements, casting doubt on the feasibility of the agreement. Despite Australias investment, the US shipbuilding industry is falling behind, with only four Virginia-class submarines delivered between 2019 and 2023, far short of the forecast. The US legislation underpinning Aukus prevents the transfer of a submarine if it would degrade Americas own undersea capabilities, making it unlikely that Australia will receive the submarines as planned.
