Australia is just paying the cost. US will command the subs and Australians will be emptying the ashtrays and cleaning the latrines.

Australia will not actually own the submarines, Australia will just pay their purchase price and operating expenses.

The USA will control the submarines and decide who will be killed by them.

Australians will not be allowed access to any.

It is the truth.

The US will not allow Australia any control or access to secret technology.

Australia will just get the privilege of naming the submarines and making the false claim that Australia owns them.
