摘要

On 12 December 2012, Australia's Minister for Defence Stephen Smith and Minister for Defence Materiel Jason Clare announced that a new facility for testing submarine systems, including propulsion, energy and integration technology, would be based in Adelaide. In November 2011, the Australian government commissioned a feasibility study into the establishment of a submarine propulsion, energy, support and integration facility, generally referred to as a 'land-based test site.'
