US nuclear submarine arrives in Perth under AUKUS
The USS Colorado has arrived at a navy base south of Perth for maintenance and training as part of the AUKUS agreement. The American submarine will return in late 2027 as the first of five submarines (four from the US and one from the UK) to be based in Australia on rotation. The visit follows a March incident where a US attack submarine torpedoed and sank an Iranian frigate, killing at least 87 sailors. Three Australians were on board the sub at the time but took no part in the attack.
