🇺🇸🇦🇺 The U.S. Navy just stood up a permanent base in Perth, Australia.
Naval Support Activity Stirling went official on May 30th, built specifically to anchor the Submarine Rotational Force-West under the AUKUS framework.
This is the U.S. planting roots in the Indo-Pacific, not just rotating ships through. A permanent facility means sustained submarine presence, sustained logistics, and a sustained message to Beijing that the alliance isn't going anywhere.
Australia just became a frontline platform for American sea power in the Pacific.
