Nuclear powered subs, there is no intent or request to provide nuclear weapons. It is not unusual for nuclear capable vessels to visit Australia and in the usual "will not confirm or deny" sense nobody is going to speak to visiting vessels with ICBM or tactical nuclear weapons.

But the formalism remains: Australian defence forces are not overtly seeking nuclear arms to operate under the Australian flag.



In the context of this thread, I don't think it's important whether nuclear material is used for weapons or not.


"Nuclear powered subs, there is no intent or request to provide nuclear weapons"

Oh there is intent - enough nukes to end a superpower from the grave is our goal
