Would components be built in Britain and the United States before an Australian SSN was assembled in Australia?
Short answerProbably. The forecast used US-built systems, Australian hull sections, and a British reactor module shipped for final assembly.
NotesThe future submarine is treated as a modular industrial project rather than a hull built wholly in one country. Some systems could be assembled in the United States, with major hull sections built in Australia. The tentative forecast places the reactor and its surrounding hull module in Britain before shipment to Australia for final integration. This explicitly predictive answer records an October 2021 view of how the emerging partnership might divide sensitive work.
