What happened
Royal Australian Navy divers completed a five-month training rotation at Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard in Hawaii. They were the first Australian divers trained to maintain U.S. nuclear-powered attack submarines at the same level as American Sailors and shipyard personnel. This training prepares them for future operational deployments in the Indian Ocean.

Why it matters
The training is cited as a sign of progress in AUKUS, the security partnership between Australia, the U.S., and the U.K. The divers learned skills to sustain advanced undersea platforms, enhancing the capabilities of the Royal Australian Navy in the Indo-Pacific region.
Work related to the Navy's public shipyards occurs at facilities in Norfolk, Virginia; Puget Sound, Washington, and Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.
