GARDEN ISLAND, HMAS Stirling, Western Australia, Australia (November 3, 2025) –A Royal Australian Navy and an U.S. sailor assigned to USS VERMONT (SSN 792) review a check list in the boat’s torpedo room during a scheduled submarine maintenance period (SMP) at HMAS Stirling, Western Australia. Vermont arrived with 13 Royal Australian Navy officers and sailors assigned to the crew. The SMP showcased Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard & Intermediate Maintenance Facility’s ability to conduct maintenance in Western Australia and its training of Australian maintainers to support the establishment of Submarine Rotational Force – West as early as 2027 as part of AUKUS Pillar I, the trilateral security agreement between Australia, the United Kingdom and the United States. The AUKUS Integration & Acquisition Program Office is the U.S. Navy office responsible for executing the trilateral partnership to assist Australia in acquiring conventionally armed, nuclear-powered attack submarines while setting the highest nuclear stewardship standards and continuing to maintain the highest nonproliferation standard.
