Nuclear submarines will allow Australia to project maritime power far from our shores. This is critical for an island nation heavily dependent on trade by sea.


This is a counterpiece to Security without submarines: the military strategy Australia should pursue instead of AUKUS, which was published (and posted here) about a week ago.

Hear hear, and manufacture drones (aerial, not just naval), lots of drones, just look how effective they are in Ukraine. As long as you keep AI out of it. Wow, that vid is 8 years old now, still effective. You could literally encircle the country in overlapping drone ranges for less than one sub I'll bet. Sure would be nice to lead instead of follow for once.
