AUKUS (Australia-UK-US)

Australia to acquire nuclear submarine

The goal is to deliver a state-of-the-art submarine that incorporates the best submarine technology from all three nations, enhancing deterrence and promoting stability in the Indo-Pacific.

This arrangement will also lift all three nations' submarine industrial bases and undersea capabilities. The AUKUS partners will contribute to stability, peace, and prosperity in the Indo-Pacific and around the world by operating conventionally-armed, nuclear-powered submarines.
