I understood we would be getting one out of a mid life refurb before any new builds.

My understanding was that the SSN build rate was at 1.6 and they needed to up it above 2 to deliver on AUKAS. Graph is locked on 2.

I think 2.3 was the required target for AUKUS. 2 for US and the 0.3 for Australia.

Open question:

Can the ADF expand RAN submarine force personal out to 3000 or a 2:1 ratio of 24 active submariners across both west and eastern seaboards?
