Australia is buying five nuclear-powered submarines from the United States. The deal was announced Monday, Mar. 13 in San Diego.
The five submarines will be Virginia-class boats. Designed by General Dynamics Electric Boat and Huntington Ingalls Industries, Virginia-class submarines can complete a broad spectrum of missions including anti-submarine warfare and intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) missions.
The five submarines will cost Australia about $3 billion per submarine, at least using current market prices. The ships will be built at plants in Virginia and Connecticut.
