Tentative UK approval given for ￡2bn nuclear submarine deal
https://reurl.cc/5MgypR
The Sun revealing that Rishi Sunak's government has achieved an "in
principle" agreement to provide the Royal Australian Navy with
British-designed and at least, partially-built nuclear powered submarines
worth an estimated ￡2 billion per unit at this early stage.
英國政府原則上同意提供英國設計的核子潛艦
Importantly, the reports state that this deal would potentially see
Australia's future nuclear powered submarine would be built to an "existing"
design — like the Royal Navy's Astute class submarines, as part of this, the
Royal Navy has also categorically ruled out leasing a Royal Navy submarine to
the Royal Australian Navy.
預計未來澳洲核子潛艦將按照現有設計建造
且英國不會租借現役核子潛艦給澳洲
目前看來建造機敏級核潛艦的機率比較大
可能是前幾艘在英國建造 之後才技轉給澳洲
而且英國不會提供二手的潛艦
那麼澳洲潛艦空窗期的問題就要另找方法解決
