Capability starts with people 🇦🇺🇺🇸⚓🛠️

Australian sailors are working side-by-side with the U.S. Navy, building the skills and experience needed to support nuclear-powered submarines in Australia.

Through hands-on training at Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard and maintenance activities at HMAS Stirling, Royal Australian Navy maintainers are helping develop the workforce that will support Submarine Rotational Force-West and Australia's future conventionally armed, nuclear-powered submarines under .

Every skill learned, relationship built and challenge overcome is helping strengthen Australia's future submarine enterprise.

Thanks, Perth! 👋

A big thank you to everyone who stopped by the Australian Submarine Agency stand at the Perth Royal Show's ADF and Veterans Day 🇦🇺⚓

It was fantastic to meet so many Western Australians and answer questions about Australia's future nuclear-powered submarine program.

Whether you were exploring career pathways, learning more about the partnership, or simply curious about submarines, we appreciated the opportunity to connect with you.

Thanks for your interest, your questions, and your support 🙌

Australian Submarine Agency representatives joined Defence, industry, academia and international partners last week at Submarine Institute of Australia to discuss the workforce, industry, infrastructure and stewardship capabilities required to support Australia's future nuclear-powered submarine capability.

Across keynote presentations, panel discussions and industry engagement, one message remained clear: delivering the Optimal Pathway is about more than acquiring submarines. It is about building the enduring enterprise required to operate, sustain and steward them for generations.

⚓ Congratulations to HMS Agamemnon as the Royal Navy's latest Astute class submarine heads to sea trials for the first time.

This major milestone for the UK submarine enterprise is another example of the progress being delivered across the AUKUS partnership.

From sea trials in the UK to workforce and infrastructure growth in Australia, every step is helping prepare the capability needed to deliver the next generation of conventionally armed, nuclear-powered submarines.

Fair winds and following seas, Awesome Aggie. 🇬🇧🇦🇺🇺🇸

🇦🇺🇬🇧🇺🇸⚓ Five years after was announced, Australia is preparing for the next phase of delivery.

A key milestone will be the commencement of Submarine Rotational Force-West (SRF‑West) in 2027, which will see a rotational presence of United States and United Kingdom nuclear-powered submarines operating from HMAS Stirling.

Across Australia, major investments in workforce, industry and infrastructure are helping build the foundations of a sovereign conventionally armed, nuclear-powered submarine capability.

At HMAS Stirling, significant infrastructure works are supporting future submarine operations and sustainment. In Henderson, the future Defence Precinct will enhance Australia's long-term sustainment capability. In Osborne, South Australia, work continues on the Nuclear-Powered Submarine Construction Yard, where Australia's future SSN‑AUKUS submarines will be built.

Together with Defence, industry, academia and our AUKUS partners, Australia is building an enduring national capability that will help strengthen our security and prosperity for generations to come.

🇦🇺🇬🇧🇺🇸⚓ Australian industry is playing an increasingly important role in delivering the AUKUS Optimal Pathway.

Through initiatives such as the Australian Submarine Supplier Qualification and the Defence Industry Vendor Qualification , Australian businesses are building the skills, systems and capabilities needed to meet the standards and requirements of the nuclear-powered submarine enterprise.

These efforts are helping Australian companies integrate into United Kingdom and United States submarine supply chains while strengthening Australia's sovereign industrial capability.

Australian companies are also contributing directly to submarine sustainment and maintenance activities, including Submarine Maintenance Periods conducted at HMAS Stirling in Western Australia. These activities provide valuable hands-on experience and help industry develop the expertise needed to support Australia's future conventionally armed, nuclear-powered submarine capability.

Five years on from the announcement of , Australian industry continues to play a critical role in building the capability, capacity and expertise needed to support the nation's future submarine enterprise. 🇦🇺⚓🛠️

🇦🇺🇬🇧🇺🇸⚓ At the heart of is people.

Thousands of Australians will play a role in operating, maintaining, regulating and supporting Australia's future conventionally armed, nuclear-powered submarine capability.

From students and apprentices to engineers, technicians and submariners, workforce development initiatives are helping build the skills, knowledge and experience needed to support a sovereign nuclear-powered submarine enterprise.

More than 230 Royal Australian Navy personnel are currently progressing through the United States Navy's nuclear-powered submarine training pipeline, gaining critical operational, engineering and sustainment expertise.

Five years on from the announcement of AUKUS, investment in people remains central to building Australia's future submarine capability and delivering the skills needed for generations to come.
