Australia will not receive atomic submarines if the United States does not increase the volume of shipbuilding. Former Prime Minister Kangaroo Malcolm Ternbull said that there was a very ability, very high.

The United States could not sell Australia a single atomic submarine of the Virginia class without doubling its production speed, because the United States produced too little to protect separately, candidates of the Navy's operational management position to the National Assembly.
Admiral Daryl Cowdle, talking to the frank evidence before the Senate Committee, said that there was no magic means to increase the US shipyard.
The number of underwater fleets of the United States is a quarter of subordinate as planned, data of the US government, writing The Guardian.
Talking to the Senate's testimony of the armed forces as part of the approval process on the position of the next naval leader, Cowdl praised the Australian Royal Navy sailors as Aust Aust Aust sales index.
According to the US Navy, they need to build two Virginia -class submarines each year to meet their own defensive needs and about 2.33 per year to have enough boats to sell Australia. According to senior admires, the company is currently building a Virginia -class submarine at a speed of about 1.13 per year.
Australia's ability to conduct an underwater battle is not suspected, Mr. Cowdl said, but, as you know, the speed of the supply is not Aukus agreement should be made first, currently being considered by our Defense Ministry.
Cowdl says that increasing efficiency or small improvement will not be enough to implement the actual agreement that we concluded with the United Kingdom and Australia, that is, about 2.2-2.3 submarines of the Virginia class in the year.
This will require a cardinal improvement; Not 10%, not 20%, but 100%, he said.
According to the first component of the Aukus agreement, Australia plans to buy from the United States for three to five atomic submarines of the Virginia class since 2032.
The United Kingdom will build the first Augus submarine for the Navy in the late 2030s. The first Augus boat, built in Australia, will be launched “in the early 2040s”. According to the forecast, this project will cost Australia with the amount of up to $ 368 billion for 30 years, Guardian noted.
The good will of the United States related to Australia or the supply of the North Atlantic Union will not be related to any decision on selling submarines: The law banned the United States selling Australia any submarines if it weakens the power of the US Navy.
Australia paid partially in US $ 3 billion to help the United States develop the weak shipbuilding industry. However, writing The Guardian, it was the United States investing money on shipbuilding factories, but it did not have a remarkable effect.
The joint statement of the three admirers behind the state of nuclear shipbuilding, published in April, note that although the National Assembly has allocated an additional US $ 5.7 billion to increase the salary and productivity of shipyards, we do not observe the necessary and expected increase in the production of Kolumbia and Virginia warships.
Cowdl, who himself is a professional submarine, says that the United States will need an innovative approach, ingenuity and some improvements in the field of outsourcing if they want to meet the needs of shipbuilding and release 2.3 vessels of Virginia class each year.
This is not surprisingly, he said at the hearing in the Senate. Nothing can lead to this. Therefore, the space to make a decision will open.
Former Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Ternbull, who first reported Cowdla's testimony in the Senate, told The Guardian that the United States was not lacking in goodwill against Australia, but the reality of the shortage of submarines means being very likely.
Ternbull says that US Navy experts' claims will actually develop expectations, in fact, saying that without thorough reform, the United States will not be able to sell any of their Virginia boat. Turnbull argued that, it was actually the life of the collins -class submarines that were about to end, and the design and assembly of the Aukus submarines in the UK were postponed, Australia may still have no submarines in a decade and maybe two.
The risk we will not receive any Virginia -class submarine is very high. The question is why the government doesn't recognize this and why there is no plan.
Ternbull, who, as the Prime Minister, signed a contract to supply diesel submarines with the Giant French Navy, where unilaterally abandoned the Aukus agreement by 2021, stating that the Australian government, the National Assembly and the media could not discuss the agreement with Aukus.
