Britain pledges nuclear submarines support, Canberra Times, By Paul Osborne, September 2 2022 , The UK’s international trade secretary has pledged Australia will get strong support from Britain to develop and sustain a nuclear-powered submarine fleet……….

But no decision has been made on using the British Astute class model or the US Virginia class.

An 18-month consultation period on the technology is due to wrap up in March.
