The U.S. Navy established NSA Stirling in Western Australia, part of the AUKUS pact's Pillar I, to support Submarine Rotational Force–West (SRF-West) with maintenance and sustainment infrastructure for U.S. and British nuclear submarines. The facility, expected to be operational by 2027, aims to enhance regional readiness, while a Singapore meeting confirmed progress on AUKUS milestones and announced a 2027 Pillar II project for uncrewed undersea vehicles.
