107 and her group continues to navigate around Australia, looping around south of Tasmania now:

^^^ Had a feeling the 055 looped around outside landmass obstructions to see further towards the pacific, looking out for USN

I see rust on the Australian photos but not on the Chinese side. They edit those out?

Could be that they adjusted for different RBG weights on those photos.

They were FONOP'sing in the New South China Sea looking for the new super stealthy Austrian nuclear submarines.

This might take a while.

Austria is a landlocked country in Europe... They have no navy

It appears @wuguanhui was most likely referring to, if not joking about the overpriced nuclear submarines that His Majesty's Royal Australian Navy intend to acquire with the "assistance" of Uncle Sam and their degenerate and delusional "cousins" from England.

I always like seeing rust on Chinese ships. It means they're being used as intended instead of being sheltered at home.

they should do this more often the same way they have tired Taiwan down and they don't even bother to intercept the PLAAF anymore

I guess the Aussies and their allies are much more up for a fight down under but more of these type of missions will show Chinese power projection

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.
