The Australian Strategic Policy Institute will host an international conference: The Submarine Choice on Wednesday, 9 April until Thursday, 10 April at the Hyatt Hotel, Canberra.

As the government moves closer to deciding on Australia’s Future Submarine, ASPI has brought together senior policymakers, high-level military officials, leading industry representatives and academics from Australia and around the world.

Speakers, including Senator the Hon David Johnston; ADM Harry B. Harris—US Pacific Fleet; VADM Ray Griggs—Chief of Navy; RADM Phillip G. Sawyer—Commander, US Submarine Force, US Pacific Fleet and many more, will discuss key aspects of what will arguably be the most expensive and technologically complex defence capability project in the history of the nation.

ASPI’s conference aims to share different perspectives on the Future Submarine’s strategic, economic and industry dimensions with a view to informing government’s decision-making process.

The topics include:

·         The Strategic Context

·         The Navy’s Perspective

·         Regional Perspectives
