The U.S. deploys nuclear submarines in Western Australia to strengthen regional naval power.

Media: The base in Western Australia will strengthen the US naval forces in the region

RIA Novosti, Moscow, February 9 - According to the Wall Street Journal, the naval base in Western Australia will be used to strengthen the US naval forces in the region.

In late January, the US Navy announced plans to deploy four nuclear submarines at the Sterling base near Perth, Australia.

The media said that this agreement could provide a decisive advantage for the US in the event of a potential conflict with China.

At the end of December last year, the Australian government announced an investment of up to 8 billion Australian dollars (5.6 billion US dollars) to expand the infrastructure at the Sterling base, in order to maintain the country's west coast as the center of the Australian submarine fleet.
