South Australia's naval shipbuilding sector is moving to become more heavily involved in US nuclear submarine construction, well before work begins on AUKUS vessels.
The SA government has struck a deal with shipbuilder Huntington Ingalls Industries to allow SA companies to enter supply chain s for US nuclear-powered naval submarines.
The SA government said it had struck a deal with shipbuilder Huntington Ingalls Industries — which builds Virginia-class submarines — that would potentially allow SA companies to enter supply chains for American nuclear-powered naval vessels. "We really look at AUKUS as an opportunity to enhance the industrial capability of all three partner nations, and the collaboration we're talking about today is a very important next step in that partnership."
Australia will buy at least three nuclear-powered Virginia-class submarines from the US in the early 2030s, and then build at least five of a new, nuclear-powered submarine class dubbed the SSN-AUKUS
