British Review Warns Of Submarine Supply Shortcomings
A newly released British Parliamentary Defence Committee review identified supply shortcomings regarding the construction of nuclear submarines. The review specifically noted issues at the shipyard in the United Kingdom where some of the vessels will be built. These findings suggest the AUKUS nuclear submarine deal for Australia may not be delivered as currently expected. Military analysts are calling for increased transparency surrounding the Orcus submarine deal. The review also warned that Australia's nuclear submarine order may face delays. Retired Major General Mike Smith noted the need for alternative capabilities if US nuclear-propelled submarine deliveries slip.
