The Virginia-class fast-attack submarine USS Minnesota (SSN 783) arrives in Western Australia earlier this year, initiating the first of two planned visits to HMAS Stirling in 2025. Defense Logistics Agency Maritime Mechanicsburg recently awarded a $5 billion contract to six small businesses expediting support for Virginia-class submarines and active surface ships in a move set to significantly enhance the nation's maritime advantage.
