It looks like AUKUS is building a new class of nuclear submarine. Defence Minister Marles makes nice while in the USA.
Support for shipbuilder Austal
Richard Marles used the opportunity while in the United States to defend Austal, after some US politicians declared the company should not be involved in the building process for US submarines.
Parts of the US Virginia-class submarines are being built by Austal and the company is expected to be a contender in constructing the nuclear-powered submarines under the AUKUS deal.
Mr Marles said that Austal's facilities were a "national asset."
"Austal has made a really significant contribution to the American navy," he said.
"We use Austal in a number of platforms within the Australian system, it's an Australian company which has made a significant contribution to the US Navy and I think that's been good for brand Australia."
