The Australian Government has not yet decided which option it will choose to replace the Collins class submarine fleet. Prime Minster Tony Abbott said on 8 January 2015 that there will be no loss of jobs in Adelaide. The Japanese Government proposed to build the new vessels with the Soryu-class submarine as the basis for the $A20 billion project, and some work to be done in Australia

Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott and Japanese counterpart Shinzo Abe will in the week starting 7 July 2014 sign a new defence treaty. One of the results may be a joint program for the construction of advanced submarines. The US Government is believed to be strongly in favour of Australia collaborating with Japan in this area. The closer military ties are being flanked by a new Economic Partnership Agreement between the two nations, and both deals may cause friction with the Chinese Government
