The Australian’s Foreign Editor Greg Sheridan says there is “no way” Australia can have a fleet of eight nuclear submarines “before probably 2050”.

“The current strategic problem is going to be resolved long, long before these nuclear subs,” Mr Sheridan told Sky News Political Editor Andrew Clennell.

“Nuclear subs are very sexy, but they are not going to have any effect at all.

“I still think the government should go ahead with a new conventional submarine because we’re… going to end up with no submarines at all.”
