HMAS Stirling in Western Australia has not yet been servicing US nuclear submarines, but plans are in place for this to begin very soon. Here are the key points:
1. The first significant maintenance activity on a US nuclear-powered submarine (SSN) at HMAS Stirling is scheduled to occur in the second half of 2024[1][4].
2. This maintenance will involve Australian personnel actively supporting the maintenance of a US SSN at HMAS Stirling[1].
3. The US Navy will conduct its first submarine maintenance work in Australia in the summer of 2024 using the submarine tender USS Emory S. Land[2].
4. As part of this maintenance period, 30 Australian exchange sailors will deploy with the tender to participate in and gain qualifications for submarine maintenance[2].
5. Australian officers, sailors, and government civilians are already in the nuclear training pipeline with the US Navy and are learning attack submarine maintenance procedures in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, and at Barrow-in-Furness, England[2].
6. In 2024, the first Australian sailors will be assigned to serve on US submarines, and Australian maintainers will begin performing maintenance at the Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard as part of their training[2].
7. From as early as 2027, AUKUS partners plan to establish a rotational presence of one UK and up to 4 US conventionally armed, nuclear-powered submarines at HMAS Stirling[3].
These developments are part of the AUKUS agreement and Australia's plan to acquire and operate its own fleet of nuclear-powered submarines in the future[1][4]. The gradual increase in maintenance capabilities and personnel training at HMAS Stirling is designed to build Australia's capacity to support and eventually operate nuclear-powered submarines[4].

HMAS Stirling in Western Australia is set to begin servicing US nuclear submarines in the near future as part of the AUKUS agreement. Here are the key details:
1. Australian military personnel will start performing crucial maintenance work on US nuclear submarines at HMAS Stirling within months[1].
2. The first US submarine maintenance work in Australia is scheduled for summer 2024. This will involve the submarine tender USS Emory S. Land, with 30 Australian sailors embarked to learn how to repair Virginia-class submarines[5].
3. This maintenance work is an early step in establishing a nuclear-powered attack submarine maintenance capability at HMAS Stirling[5].
4. As part of the AUKUS arrangement, there are plans to establish rotational port visits of US and UK nuclear-powered submarines (SSNs) at HMAS Stirling as early as 2027[3][4].
5. Australian personnel are already in the nuclear training pipeline with the US Navy, learning attack submarine maintenance procedures in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, and at Barrow-in-Furness, England[5].
6. In 2024, the first Australian sailors will be assigned to serve on US submarines, and Australian maintainers will begin performing maintenance at the Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard as part of their training[5].
7. Australia is making infrastructure upgrades at HMAS Stirling to support these activities[5].
The goal of these efforts is to build Australia's sovereign capability to safely and competently operate and maintain nuclear-powered submarines[2]. This gradual process involves training, infrastructure development, and hands-on experience for Australian personnel, leading up to Australia's eventual acquisition and operation of its own nuclear-powered submarines under the AUKUS agreement.
