The point of AUKUS is not the submarines: it’s the bases, one in Sterling WA and one either In Newcastle or in Port Kembla. Built at the expense of Aus. But operated by US.

Australia has the sixth longest coastline in the world, approx. 25,760 kilometers ... 3 subs every ~8586km isn't really gonna cut it, defence-wise. Ooops, that's right - they're to defend the US, not us. We pay $384Bn to the US to protect the US. Of course.
