Australia's such a puppet that it paid billions of dollars to have limited access to their overlord's submarines in possibly, maybe, fifteen or twenty years

15-20? Sounds optimistic to me, I thought it was more in the 40~ year range (and even then not a given).

So how the fuck are submarines planned to arrive decades later going to be relevant? Shrug
