What this episode covers

The AUKUS pact between the United States, United Kingdom, and Australia aims to increase naval cooperation between the three countries in the face of a rising China. A major component involves the US and UK operating nuclear-powered submarines out of Australia by 2027, with plans to eventually transfer nuclear submarine technology to enable Australia to have its own nuclear submarine fleet.Together with Megan Eckstein, naval warfare reporter at Defense News, and Bryant Harris, Congress reporter at Defense News we discuss the goals, benefits, challenges, and political dimensions around AUKUS including building up the submarine and naval industrial bases, training Australian sailors on nuclear reactor operations, congressional concerns around protecting technology, and the role of export controls. We also discuss the pact hopes to boost interoperability and enhanced deterrence to counter China's growing naval capabilities in the Indo-Pacific region.
