Australia and the UK will deliver SSN-AUKUS, a new conventionally-armed nuclear-powered submarine, based on a UK design, incorporating cutting edge Australian, UK and US technologies. *** Local Caption *** The inaugural Nuclear-Powered Submarine Propulsion Challenge was launched in high schools across Australia on 19 June 2023, giving a new generation of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) students the chance to win a trip to HMAS Stirling in Western Australia to see first-hand how submarines work. The introductory-level, nationwide program will provide teachers with learning resources to help students design their own engineering plans for submarine nuclear propulsion. The program aims to inspire students to discover how nuclear propulsion works and how it makes submarines more capable. The challenge is free to enter and open to all high school students in years 7–12. The winners from each state and territory will have the opportunity to take part in an immersive submariner experience at HMAS Stirling; the home base of Australia’s Collins-class submarines.

AUKUS subs could be used against China

A senior US official says nuclear-powered submarines built in Australia as part of AUKUS may be used against China in its conflict with Taiwan.

SEA 5000 Phase 1 Future Frigate Program will deliver anti-submarine warfare frigates,the Hunter class. The Hunter class enter service in the late 2020s replacing the eight Anzac frigates, which have been in service since 1996. The Hunter class will have the capability to conduct a variety of missions independently, or as part of a task group, with sufficient range and endurance to operate effectively throughout the region. The frigates will also have the flexibility to support non-warfare roles such as humanitarian assistance and disaster relief. Incorporating the leading-edge Australian-developed CEA Phased-Array Radar and the US Navyâs Aegis combat management system, with an Australian interface developed by Saab Australia, the Hunter class will be one of the most capable warships in the world.
