Australia to sign up for nuclear-powered submarines in British-American deal

Australia is on the brink of a major overhaul of its $90-billion submarine building program, as part of a new formal three-way alliance with the United States and the United Kingdom.

In a further significant move, the new submarines will be nuclear-powered.

The federal government had initially struck a deal with French company Naval Group for the mammoth program to overhaul defence’s ability to protect Australian waters and interests.
