美国无法为AUKUS建造足够的Virginia级潜艇, The U.S. can’t build enough Virginia-class subs for AUKUS, raising doubts about the deal’s feasibility and safety.

AUKUS的潜艇协定向澳大利亚许诺多达5个弗吉尼亚级核动力潜艇,但面临重大的可行性问题,因为美国每年只建造这些潜艇的1.13艘,远远低于履行承诺所需的2.33艘。 The AUKUS submarine deal, promising Australia up to five Virginia-class nuclear-powered subs, faces major feasibility concerns as the U.S. builds only 1.13 of these submarines annually—well below the 2.33 needed to fulfill the commitment. 美国海军的优先事项正在转向较大的哥伦比亚分队,现有的维修和业务挑战降低了可靠性。 U.S. Navy priorities are shifting toward larger Columbia-class subs, and existing maintenance and operational challenges reduce reliability. 转让的潜艇最终可能携带核武器,与先前的保证相矛盾,并增加扩散风险。 Transferred submarines may eventually carry nuclear weapons, contradicting earlier assurances and raising proliferation risks. 东道的具有核能力的船只可能危及澳大利亚的安全和主权,而33亿美元的费用可能挪用其他关键需求的资金。 Hosting nuclear-capable vessels could endanger Australia’s security and sovereignty, while the $3.3 billion cost may divert funds from other critical needs. 国会2024年的一份报告质疑AUKUS是否是最有效的国防投资,指出在交易之前没有进行严格的分析。 A 2024 Congressional report questioned whether AUKUS was the most effective defense investment, noting no rigorous analysis preceded the deal. 尽管发出警告,项目仍在政治压力下继续进行,对其时机、可行性和长期价值的怀疑越来越大。 Despite warnings, the project continues under political pressure, with doubts growing over its timing, practicality, and long-term value.
