This is a very good, if slightly out-of-date, article on the #nuclear #sub portion of the #AUKUS deal from the viewpoint of it’s impact on New England #shipyards.

Just days after the article was written, it was announced that UK and Australian heads of government will meet President Biden in San Diego on Monday to reveal the details of the implementation.

Reports are that 3-5 existing US #Virginia class attack subs will be leased to #Australia in the 30s to serve in the gap between the wind down of their #Collins class diesel-electrics and the roll out in the 40s of a new class of nuclear-powered attack sub to be based on a #UK design.

The reporting also indicates that Australia will make significant investments in sub building infrastructure. Taken together, these leaked details seem to point toward a solution to the central issue this article brings up about US capacity to build new subs fast enough.

Lesson learned: do not try to overtake pedestrians by going around them on the mud with THESE tires, or THIS will happen.
Fortunately no damage other than pride.
Also fortunately I'm in the right place for a tire upgrade.
Reckless in more than one way.
