Australia Planning New Base that Could Resupply, Maintain U.S. Nuclear Submarines
March 9th, 2022Via: The Hill:
Australia is set to build a new naval base off of its east coast, which could provide American nuclear submarines with supplies and maintenance and bolster regional defenses against China.
Of the 19 sites reviewed for the new base’s location, officers narrowed it down to three possibilities including Brisbane, Newcastle and Port Kembla. All three possible sites are in the proximity of the infrastructure needed to support submarines and to accommodate a growing workforce, according to Prime Minister Scott Morrison’s Monday announcement.
Initial work on the project is expected to be completed by the end of next year.
