Submarines matter. They are complex, take a long time to build, require tremendous expertise to build, maintain and operate and they are perhaps our greatest strategic edge over all of our adversaries. We have to revitalize Americas shipyards and submarine force. https://lnkd.in/gPd_mKGz

New #USNavy long-range #shipbuilding plan details decommissioning 19 ships in FY 2025. The latest 30-year shipbuilding plan sketches out two paths to get to a larger fleet – one bounded by flat budgets and a second one that seeks to build the ships the Navy needs to reach its goal of 381 ships. Both plans would seek to buy two attack subs per year from FY 2026 through FY 2043. Both plans also show the Navy buying one Columbia-class #submarine per year from FY 2026 through FY 2035, reflecting the goal of recapitalizing the sea-based leg of the nuclear triad and the need to replace the Ohio-class #submarines one for one as they retire. | https://bit.ly/3x9SRq0 The plan also breaks down the significant investment in the submarine industrial base that Navy officials argue is required to both build the boats the U.S. needs for AUKUS. | Download the Document: https://bit.ly/3x3uOsY ⚓ #submersibles #silentservice #defensecontractors #defenseindustry #nationalsecurity

Advocate for a globally competitive #AUSTRALIANFUSIONENERGYINDUSTRY with strategic communications expertise.
The antipodeans Sir Ernest Rutherford "father of nuclear physics" and Sir Mark Oliphant, "Opposer of the fission bomb" were the first experimental demonstrators of nuclear fusion. Why then are the Australian Government and the Federal Opposition not working to get it developed in Australia and bring it back home? New Zealand has, so why not Australia? Interesting articles about Nuclear and I know you haven't looked at Fusion. So let's look at the nuclear or Fission option versus Fusion 1. Fission (Nuclear) Not able to be licenced. https://lnkd.in/gbm2t5uU 2. Authorities have the power to grant licenses for fusion, which is not explicitly covered by the Nuclear Act or the ARPANSA definition. https://lnkd.in/gjKFABpy The above ARPANSA link defines nuclear as fission—no mention of Fusion. 3. A fission (Nuclear)reactor without fissile fuel is a building. 4. A fusion reactor without fissile fuel is a fusion reactor building 5, Fissile (Nuclear) fuel availability and the future cost is a concern, especially for economists and users Dittmar, M. (2011). The End of Cheap Uranium. ArXiv. /abs/1106.3617 Even the UN has identified this, so why does the Fission(Nuclear) industry persist in denying its death like fossil fuels https://lnkd.in/gze5rwpr 6. Should the focus in Australia be on nuclear fission advancement or the promotion of fusion technology? 7, Fission (Nuclear) is only at present in 39 countries out of 189. 8. Is Dutton doing a Menzies and wanting a loophole to get fission (Nuclear) weapons to start with for the subs? 9. Australia still has no high-level radiation waste storage facility 10. Helion Fusion has committed to having its fusion version working in 2028 11. The FIA (Fusion Industry Association) has postulated that commercial power fusion will be available in the 2030s. 12. In its fusion conference report in 2023, the IAEA postulated that all International nuclear (Fission) Laws like the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty do not consider fusion, so it seems it can be built in Australia now. 13. Fusion is also being developed "Small Modular Fusion Reactors" like Zap Energy and Avalanche Energy. 14. HB11 and the UNSW Tokamak project have positioned Australia prominently in the trillion-dollar international fusion industry. Instead of relying on fission with a limited lifetime, wouldn't it be preferable to support Australian renewables, batteries, and hydrogen energy generators and back them up with a fusion power plant? This would eliminate the traditional waste problem while still providing medical isotopes and advancements in medical technology like MRIs. Let's focus on creating a sustainable future for Australia instead of perpetuating pollution and leading to an energy crisis. https://lnkd.in/ekakyifA

The Tourville (S637) is the third Suffren-class SSN. The first sea trials, also known as “Alpha Trials”, was conducted off the Naval Group submarine shipyard of Cherbourg in Normandy, with the submarine setting sails 12 July 2024. The Tourville first sea trials follow the commissioning of the nuclear boiler room in April 2024 and the dock tests carried out since the submarine was transferred to its launching gear on 20 July 2023. The operations carried out in the integration bay, in the dry then water-filled docks, enabled the equipment and systems to be tested beforehand at quay. The Barracuda series is well underway and the pace is quickening: the remaining three submarines in the program (de Grasse, Rubis and Casabianca) are all currently under construction, at different stages of completion. Their deliveries will be staggered at a rate of one every two years until 2030. With a lifespan of more than 30 years, the Barracuda program commits submarine forces until at least 2060, making it one of the major weapons systems of this century. It should be noted that, once the Tourville is admitted to active service, the French Navy will operate more Suffren-type submarines than Rubis-type submarines.

The military's battle-ready approach to energy security via microgrids. Picture the Marine Corps. Air Station near San Diego, where a cutting-edge microgrid, fueled by solar panels and landfill gas, stands ready. Its mission? To ensure resilience. It can keep the lights on for a staggering 14 days during power outages, thanks to distributed energy resources. Why the shift? Microgrids align with the military's tactical goals, from safeguarding operations to reducing emissions. They provide both backup power during blackouts and a quieter, cleaner alternative to diesel generators. Microgrids also offer economic advantages and energy diversity, reducing greenhouse gas emissions. They're part of the US Army's vision for a greener grid, with plans to introduce microgrids at over 130 Army bases worldwide by 2035. As the military leads the charge, microgrids will continue to emerge as an essential energy solution for commercial and industrial users too. #Microgrids #Resilience #RPower1 To read more, click here: https://buff.ly/3Ptsdzi

OPINION: "The strategic potential of Submarine Rotational Force-West, the AUKUS initiative that commits the United States and United Kingdom to forward-deploy a small flotilla of nuclear-powered attack submarines to HMAS Stirling, near Fremantle, isn’t adequately appreciated. "Fortunately, history has set an instructive if insufficiently known precedent. During World War II, from a precarious start, Fremantle was a key base in one of the most effective sea-denial campaigns ever, hosting 127 American submarines, over 30 British boats, and a handful of Dutch vessels. The parallels are revealing from various angles. "As with all things AUKUS, Submarine Rotational Force-West (SRF-West) has met criticism, including on the grounds that the offer to host foreign submarines at HMAS Stirling from the late 2020s supposedly undermines Australia’s sovereignty, even though the arrangement is on a rotational basis and modest in scale—starting with up to four American and one British nuclear-powered attack submarines (or SSNs). "SRF-West is nevertheless the main effort under AUKUS to bridge the Royal Australian Navy’s (RAN) looming submarine capability gap, as its six ageing Collins-class boats are progressively retired from the 2030s and before nuclear-powered replacements can be commissioned in numbers. As such, it is one of AUKUS’s potentially most impactful and within-reach initiatives, utilising Australia’s unique combination of positional advantage and strategic depth to maximise a key allied capability, wherein the US Navy (USN) retains a qualitative edge over China."
