Defence Industry Minister Pat Conroy has made two announcements regarding Australia’s nuclear-powered submarine ambitions under the AUKUS construct during a visit to the US. The announcements were made in Washington DC, where Mr Conroy revealed that US company Leidos Gibbs & Cox will be involved in building a submarine.
Despite these developments, there are still no guarantees that Australia will receive submarines from the US. The AUKUS submarine project continues to move forward with spending and announcements, but the delivery of the submarines remains uncertain.
According to the announcements made by Minister Conroy, Leidos Gibbs & Cox will play a role in the construction of the submarine. However, the lack of a guarantee on the delivery of the submarines raises questions about the project’s timeline and outcome.
