However, the plan to build what we decide to get. Is to do it in Adelaide. Where the Collins was built. We will see.
The last time I looked and put the link in this thread, The US yards said they could produce 3 Virginia's a year. If they had a firm order for such, going forward. They would then invest in the infrastructure. This was even before the talk of a build or part build. For one or two Virginia's for AUKUS, to start us off.
I see that article as being the way they talk to congress, about investment infrastructure. “We are saturated in certain areas of the country. The Northeast is one of those. If we cannot bring the people to the work, we’re going to take the work to the people,” Rucker said.
Also the more states they are in. Gives them a broader base of political support. Perhaps they learnt that from the USAF
