US warship to honour Canberra, cement AUKUS deal.
The US has discreetly approved the sale of $A313 million worth of sonar tech to boost Australia's maritime early warning systems to counter China's lurking maritime force.
We might not see their president anytime soon but the United States has dispatched a warship to Australia to reinforce the AUKUS alliance through its formal commissioning in Sydney Harbour.
For the first time in its 229 year history, the US Navy will commission one of its warships in a foreign country and name it after our capital Canberra in what will be a significant show of goodwill.
According to US Defence, that sensitive tactical underwater kit will allow for "detection and cuing of enemy submarines" and was in US interest to "support not alter" the Indo-Pacific military balance.

Indeed.
With every US warship, bomber, missile that arrives I feel safer and more comfortable.
