The cost of Defence: ASPI Defence budget brief 2024-2025

Bec Shrimpton 3 June 2024
The Department of Defence caption to this 2013 photograph reads ‘Cockburn Sound, near Rockingham Western Australia was busier than usual as three submarines on a variety of activities were in close proximity for a short time. HMAS Dechaineux was departing for deployment whilst HMAS Waller, who recently completed a scheduled maintenance period was undertaking post maintenance trials. HMAS Sheean, who has recently returned from naval exercises on the east coast of Australia, was once again departing to conduct a variety of activities in the Western Australia Exercise Area.’ The significance of this photo for the story told in this volume is explained in Chapter 5.
