Abstract
Australia’s future submarine operation missions are guided by the 2009 Australian White Paper with the specification being able to carry out covert patrols at very long distances with long operating times. Submarines that meet these specifications are nuclear-powered submarines, especially the Astute Class Nuclear Submarine with high technology. The submarine specifications are 97 m long and will displace 7,400 tons of seawater when stored. The submarine can fully circumnavigate the globe without ever surfacing and, armed with tomahawk cruise missiles, can target military facilities on land from thousands of miles away. This new payload will significantly increase the Australian navy’s conventional strike power. The Smart Submarine Astute can pinpoint accuracy to strike targets up to 1,200 km from the coast. According to the AUKUS Alliance (Australia-UK-US), nuclear submarines are an effort for world stabilization and security, especially in the Indo-Pacific Region. Considering the Natural, Energy and Food Wealth of the Indo-Pacific Region is the spearhead of the survival of the global community. The assembly of super-advanced nuclear submarines will not be ready until around 2040, so this cooperation will last quite a while.
