The pair begin by analysing the current submarine question spurred by the technology sharing arrangements under the AUKUS deal, and the differences between the proposed nuclear-powered submarines and the Attack Class.
The podcast then dives into whether Australia needs stop-gap capabilities in the meantime while the new fleet is under construction.
