Australia must recruit hundreds more to crew Aukus submarines, retired admiral warns

Australia's plans to crew its new Aukus submarines are facing significant challenges, with a retired admiral warning that hundreds more personnel need to be recruited. This is just one of the "huge issues" the program faces, according to Peter Briggs. The Aukus deal, worth $368bn, aims to provide Australia with nuclear-powered vessels, but the country's ability to recruit and train enough naval personnel is a major concern for the project's success.

Why it matters

The Aukus program needs to recruit hundreds of crew members, which could be difficult. This challenge may impact the program's overall success and timeline.
