Australia’s Defense Minister Richard Marles confirms the U.S. remains open to selling up to five Virginia-class submarines, with Australia now set to acquire three to bridge the gap until its homegrown fleet is ready. While some analysts worry the third sub’s shorter lifespan could weaken capability, Marles insists mid-life upgrades will ensure longevity. He reaffirms no changes to the AUKUS deal and highlights Australia’s focus on regional security, including upcoming talks with the Solomon Islands’ new PM, as it seeks to deepen partnerships across the Pacific.
