Perhaps in the near future, China will be able to do her own regular "freedom of navigation" operations with CSGs off Alaska and Australia

There is an AUKUS thread under World Armed Forces section, which is more appropriate for the topic of Australian submarines.

Suffice to say, the idea of more Australian submarines were first floated (pardon the pun) in the 2009 Defence White Paper. I bet the authors did not imagine that the first, second-hand submarines would only be in service in the 2040s.

I did put forth the suggestion before to rearrange the acronym AUKUS into the more fitting USUKA

Some images of the taken by the Australians.

These pictures are not as good as those taken by the Japanese. Maybe the Japanese use better cameras?

I mean, they do make really good cameras.

New Zealand had a go at photographing the 055 off her coast.

I sure hope so, the rules is for everyone to do "peaceful" passage with massive warships as if they are just going for a stroll in the park with no nefarious intention what so ever.

As they say what is good for the goose is good for the gander! Watch out Australia and US of A. You might see an amanda of Aircaft carrier and support ships, soon sailing to your shoreline.
