The first major initiative of the AUKUS partnership is the delivery of a conventionally-armed, nuclear-powered submarine (SSN) capability for Australia. This will ensure that Australia will maintain a critical edge in the underwater domain for decades to come. At the centre of this is SSN-AUKUS, a trilaterally-developed submarine based on the UKs next-generation design.
