Original Message AUSTRALIA'S HMAS Stirling navy base in Western Australia could become the base for an entire United States Navy aircraft carrier battle group, if a proposal by a US think tank is accepted.

It outlines a number of options for US forces in the Pacific, including greater use of the Stirling fleet base in Fremantle, to increase overall military capability in the region.

If pursued, a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, up to nine squadrons of aircraft, two guided missile cruisers, two or three guided missile destroyers, one or two nuclear attack submarines plus supply ships could be based at Sterling.
