AUKUS has a shipyard shortage.
South Korea is investing into American shipbuilding. Hanwha is expanding Philly Shipyard.
America needs more yards.
Australia needs submarines
Newcastle is not a future idea
It is the here-and-now industrial solution

Australia entered AUKUS expecting expanded submarine production and next-generation capability.
Instead, expectations are now being adjusted around what the industrial base can actually deliver on time.

If the industrial system cannot deliver the original AUKUS plan on time, the solution cannot simply be lowering ambition & keeping ageing submarines alive for another decade
That is not strategy
That is managing industrial shortfall

As Australia’s Future Submarine City, Newcastle has the opportunity to become far more than a shipbuilding centre.

Do we spend $400+ billion on submarines…
Or do we use this moment to build an industrial nation around them?

Hanwha has offered to build #submarines and an automotive industry together in Canada.
This is the opportunity in front of Australia.

$3B from Australia.
$3B written off by the US Navy.
USS Boise: cancelled.
“The math really does not work.”
This isn’t a funding problem.
It’s a system problem.
Are we buying submarines— or just buying time?

#AUKUS - Great news for #nuclear submarines!
The fix for the industrial base… is another program office.
Because nothing breaks the cycle of
same people,
same programs,
same results—
like one more program.
