“In 2027, we will deploy a rotational force consisting of US and British submarines in Australia,” TASS quoted him as saying.

It is noted that these rotational forces will be called "West".

Earlier, National Security Adviser to the US President Jake Sullivan said that the US, UK and Australia plan to develop a new nuclear-powered submarine with conventional weapons.

He also said that the United States intends to supply Australia with at least three Virginia-class submarines in the 2030s.
