Reminds me of the Scrap Iron Flotilla from WW2.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scrap_Iron_Flotilla
The Imperial Navy forced Australia to purchase their old, clapped out WW1 destroyers.
With Australian Sailors onboard, they were the most feared Guerrilla fleet in the Mediterranean, out performing brand new British battleships.
Unfortunately I don't think Australia will ever receive subs with soveriegn capabilities from the usa. No matter how much tribute we give them and how many soldiers we let them host here to keep us in check they're not obligated to and their fleets and weapons systems are all behind schedule
