The US Navy has accepted its newest attack submarine, nine months past its due date, highlighting production pitfalls that could undermine the partnership with Australia. Progress on specific AUKUS commitments, such as investment in future Australian submarine infrastructure and bases, is also slow. The US Navy's plan to build 12 submarines carrying intercontinental ballistic missiles may run at least 20% or $20 billion over budget. The AUKUS partnership is expected to result in a 10-year dip in the US attack boat inventory, according to the Congressional Budget Office. If AUKUS fails to alter the regional military balance of power, it could lead to a loss of faith in the US's ability to check Chinese power.
