Can Australia handle its new fleet of nuclear submarines? | Four Corners
Australia is spending up to $32 million a day, over the next 32 years, to build a new fleet of nuclear submarines.
Under the AUKUS deal, it’s the country’s largest ever defence purchase, with hopes it will strengthen ties with critical allies – the UK and US.
But lately, Australia’s ability to handle even its current fleet of ageing submarines is looking shaky.
The navy maintains the Collins class remain a “lethal capability” but over the past few years there’s been fires, floods and significant maintenance delays. At the start of 2023, the Australian Navy had only one battle-ready submarine.
Four Corners investigates whether Australia can deliver on its $368 billion defence strategy, and if it will be enough to deter China’s growing influence in the Pacific.
