Why would Europe care about what happens in the far east? Besides if nations we consider allies gets attacked that is....

That area is more US sphere of interrest. (And the UK has obviously also made it hers)

Giving Australia nuclear subs is also dragging them into a conflict (with China) they would have a hard time to reach using "normal" boats.... kind of "I scratch your bag.....".
