The Royal Australian Navy's Strength and Future Capabilities | COMPILATION

Video Description

Australia’s Navy is entering the most significant transformation in its history. From new surface combatants to autonomous underwater systems and nuclear-powered submarines, the Royal Australian Navy is reshaping how it will fight, deter, and operate across the Indo-Pacific for decades to come. In this episode of Talking Tactics, we break down the platforms and programs that will define Australia’s maritime future. That includes the Mogami-class frigates, the AUKUS submarine pathway, the Ghost Shark autonomous underwater vehicle, and the broader evolution of Australia’s surface fleet. We explore why these capabilities matter, how they fit into Australia’s changing strategic environment, and what they signal about the Navy’s role in high-end conflict, deterrence, and regional security. This is not just about new ships. It is about how Australia plans to operate at sea in an era of great power competition. What does Australia really need from its Navy? Are these the right capabilities for the threats ahead? And how will this reshape Australia’s place in the Indo-Pacific? 00:00 Ghost Shark Underwater Drone Submarine 12:14 Australia's Japanese Mogami Frigates 19:18 The Largest Surface Combatant Fleet Since WW2 34:20 Australia's Nuclear Submarines 45:19 The Royal Australian Navy Tier List --- Like the 3D printed models in the background?
