SSN-Aukus: What could the Royal Navy's powerful future nuclear subs look like?

Показать описание
At the centre of Aukus - a three-way defence partnership between Australia, the UK and the US - is an agreement for Britain and Australia to build the first generation of SSN-Aukus submarines.

They will be the largest, most advanced and most powerful attack submarines ever operated by the Royal Navy and eventually, replace Britain’s Astute-class hunter-killers.

Here we take a look at what will they look like.

As an American, I think it is great news that the UK and Australia will get to design a sub together using technology leveraged from both British and American sources. I think this will do great work to support industries in each of your countries (the UK and Australia) and serve to bolster your militaries both in an efficient and effective manner. It helps the US that we get to sell a few of our great Virginias, but ultimately I always thought Australia needed perhaps something more like the cost and manpower requirements of a "next-generation Astute" than a "next-generation Virginia". I definitely think that the submarine needs of Australia and the UK can be served well by designing something each of them can maximize utility on than what may very well be a very expensive next-gen Virginia or Block V Virginia (the one with the payload module). Besides, from what I've read, the Astute is a pretty darn good submarine in comparison to our very own Virginia. It just goes to show that you can design a perfectly capable and sometimes superior boat at a good deal less cost than what others (like us) invest. Hopefully brighter days will be ahead for all three of our militaries and industrial bases. Let's just hope that manufacturing keeps up with demand for both nations as here in the US we don't have a lot of spare capacity at two to three submarines per year being rolled out currently (plus all the other naval construction we continue to do).

Every country is going to know every move on your submarine.

A great result that the next generation SSN will be built for both the RAN & the RN. With all the links in this project, it should turn out pretty good 👍

Is there a distinction between an "attack submarine" and a "hunter killer submarine"?

Surely the RN needs to plan for more than 7 AUKUS boats to replace the 7 Astutes. 12 would be excellent but at least a minimum of 9. Design wise I would imagine something very similar to the Astute but with and extended central section containing (say) a dozen vertical launch tubes for cruise (and/or other) missiles. I wonder if there is any way production in Barrow can be speeded up?

Should be great, we have 6 subs, with only one operable. Consider that between China, Russia and North Korea they have around 180.

So glad the British are on the US side. Look at James Bond.

I remember getting in to a argument with one of the known trolls here about this, told them they would select the Virginia class over the Astute, wonder where they are now lol.

Nuclear submarines are no good for the Aussies, you can't have a BBQ on the deck.

Once the Trudeau regime is driven from power in Canada, expect more orders for SSNR.

12 RN
8 RAN
8 RCN

28 of these awesome boats will put the Fear of God into the PLA-Navy

Nuke subs are not as quiet as conventional when latter runs on electric. Conventional boats better for South China sea due to shallowness, and they can be forward deployed in Malaysia, Brunei, Singapore, and Port Blair. Australia need a mixed fleet of both Nuke and conventional boats. Interoperability is BS. It's all about profit for USA industrial complex. The 3 countries have always worked well as allies in the past with different technologies. Better off getting LEU boats from France which don't need specialist shore facilities

Great yet we defend Pacific. Yet not Dover or Northern Ireland.

Australia doesn't have the crew to man eight Virginia submarines, I thought that they would just buy the Astute class submarines, but the government want to build submarines in Adelaide, it will take time to build the first AUKUS submarines, so the British and American sailors will just have to get used to living in paradise WA,

What tots;l garbage the replacement for the nuclear is a Dreadnought-class submarine I don't know what the claptrap he is talking about?
