Australia's Collins-Class in 2025: Navigating Obstacles on the Path to AUKUS

Join us as we dive into the current state of Australia’s Collins-class submarine fleet in 2025, a critical pillar of the nation’s naval defense. With six diesel-electric submarines—HMAS Collins, Farncomb, Waller, Dechaineux, Sheean, and Rankin—these vessels have been a symbol of Australia’s maritime ambition since their inception in the 1990s. Born from a bold partnership with Sweden’s Kockums, the Collins-class overcame a rocky start plagued by noise issues, combat system failures, and delays to become one of the world’s most advanced conventional submarine forces. In this video, we explore the fleet’s multifaceted role—patrolling vast Pacific and Indian Ocean waters, safeguarding trade routes, and deterring threats—while confronting the challenges of an aging platform in an increasingly tense regional security landscape. From crew shortages and maintenance woes to the $4–5 billion Life-of-Type Extension program set to begin in 2026, we uncover how Australia is sustaining these submarines as a bridge to its nuclear-powered future under AUKUS. Featuring insights into their high-stakes missions, like the 1999 East Timor operation and RIMPAC exercises, alongside upgrades like the AN/BYG-1 combat system, this is the story of a fleet under pressure, balancing legacy and innovation.
