According to the website of The Australian on May 30th, Australia's "Anglo American Alliance" class nuclear submarine will be able to launch the next generation of hypersonic missiles, giving the country a powerful strike capability that is almost impossible to defeat by opponents. According to reports, Australian Submarine Authority Director Jonathan Mead said that the Anglo American Alliance class submarines will have "stronger firepower" than the current US Virginia class submarines and have space to accommodate unmanned submersibles and special forces. "This submarine will be able to launch more long-range missiles or hypersonic missiles." "It will be able to launch more long-range torpedoes. It will be able to carry larger reactors to provide more electricity. It will be able to carry unmanned automatic vehicles. It will be able to accommodate some special forces," added Mead. The Australian newspaper revealed this week that the "Anglo American Alliance" class submarines with a displacement of over 10000 tons will be larger than the "Virginia" class submarines with a displacement of just over 7000 tons. The displacement of six conventional powered Collins class submarines in Australia is approximately 3300 tons. When asked how many missiles the Anglo American Alliance class submarines will carry, Mead replied, "A lot.". Advanced hypersonic weapons will be developed under the Austro American Alliance's Second Pillar Technology Partnership program. Mead also revealed that he will encourage Australian investors to invest in US submarine production. He said, "We hope Australian companies will invest in production bases in the United States." This move was made after Australian taxpayers injected $4.6 billion to promote the production of American submarines and ensure that the United States can deliver the promised three Virginia class submarines to Australia. Mead said his biggest concern about this Anglo American alliance project is finding and training personnel. "Labor has always been the number one issue. This is what we really need to pay attention to," he said. 100 workers from an Australian submarine company will complete training at a US shipyard this year and train 100 people annually for the next three years. He said, "When the submarine arrives in Western Australia in 2027, we will have over 400 skilled and capable employees who can work on the 'Virginia' class submarine." (Xinhua)
