My guess is that #Australia will help to fund a new, 3rd facility in the US capable of building #Virginia class boats, ideally run by #Austal with a technology transfer agreement that maximizes Australia’s #nuclear #sub building capacity.

Even better would be to see a fourth shipyard in Australia get awarded contracts to build the non-nuclear sections of Virginia class ships to get sent back to the US by barge for final assembly. This would be a great way to build up the specialized workforce that will be necessary to build the new class of subs in Australia in the 40s.
