Australia is set to provide $3 billion to British industry to support the construction of nuclear-powered submarines and ensure its new fleet arrives on time.

    They’re actually American-built!

    The Virginia-class submarines will be primarily from a U.K. design and will have a U.S. weapons system onboard.

    oh no

      The virginia class will be US built but the aukus class will be as described. I don’t imagine we’ll be getting them any time soon if at all and the budget will almost certainly blow out. Australia honestly been taken for a ride with this deal.
