NORTH KINGSTOWN – An agreement between the United States, United Kingdom and Australia will utilize General Dynamics Electric Boat’s nuclear submarine design and manufacturing, the company announced last month.
The agreement, AUKUS, was formulated between the three countries to supply conventionally armed, nuclear-powered submarines to Australia. Under its terms, the U.S. will sell at least three Virginia class submarines to Australia beginning in the early 2030s, with the potential of two more purchases.
