But Turnbull, the prime minister whose deal to buy submarines from the French group Naval was torn up by Scott Morrison in favour of Aukus, has long argued the Aukus agreement has always been irretrievably lop-sided in the US’s favour.
但特恩布爾總理一直認為，奧庫斯協議從來都是無可挽回地向美國傾斜的，而正是他與法國海軍集團達成的購買潛艇的協議，被斯科特·莫里森撕毀。
“The Aukus deal is a very attractive one for the Americans because they get a submarine base and dockyard at Australia’s expense in Western Australia, and they do not have any obligation to sell any Virginia-class submarines to us unless their navy can spare them.
「奧庫斯交易對美國人來說非常有吸引力，因為他們可以在西澳大利亞州以澳大利亞的名義獲得潛艇基地和船塢，而且除非他們的海軍能夠騰出弗吉尼亞級潛艇，否則他們沒有任何義務向我們出售任何弗吉尼亞級潛艇。
“If the US say ‘there are no subs for you Australia’, it is not reneging on the deal: that is the deal, that is what Australia signed up to. That’s why it’s always been a bad deal for Australia.”
“如果美國說‘澳大利亞，我們不提供潛艇’，這並不是違背協議：這就是協議，這就是澳大利亞簽署的協議。這就是為什麼這對澳大利亞來說一直都是一項糟糕的協議。”
The congressional research report highlighted, again, the lagging rates of US shipbuilding.
國會研究報告再次強調了美國造船業發展速度落後的問題。
For the past 15 years, the US navy has ordered Virginia-class submarines at a rate of two a year, but its shipyards have never met that build rate “and since 2022 has been limited to about 1.1 to 1.2 boats per year, resulting in a growing backlog of boats procured but not yet built”.
過去 15 年，美國海軍每年訂購兩艘弗吉尼亞級潛艇，但其造船廠從未達到過這個建造速度，「自 2022 年以來，建造速度被限制在每年約 1.1 至 1.2 艘，導致已採購但尚未建造的潛艇積壓越來越多」。

建造速度被限制在每年約 1.1 至 1.2 艘，
然後美國海軍每年訂購兩艘。
這樣就能確保永遠排不到澳洲的單。
2021 年和澳洲簽約
2022 年就開始限制建造速度，
看來是早就打算如此。
