From what I understand this is all quiet normal with allies doing training in each other's ships, though I suppose there are more Australian, NZ, Canadian and British and other NATO Naval Officers on American ships than vice versa, simply because of there being more American ships.

Joint exercises and cross training has been in effect for decades, the more recent AUKUS Nuclear Submarine partnership involves Australian, UK and US only, in terms of which Australia will acquire its own Nuclear subs in due course. However a lot can change before that occurs as Countries and their politicians tend to change their minds, usually for 'political' reasons, time will tell as I previously said.

Same reason as Starmer, and it leaves a taste of disgust, for those who are not supporters of him and his kind, in the way they fail the people in their first duty of protecting our countries.

I didn't vote for our current Prime Minister, he's too Left for my taste, and as with most politicians his main concern is not Australia, it's covering his own political a$$ to ensure he gets re-elected. It should also be noted that Trump is not popular globally and many politicians want to distance themselves from his actions, especially if an action could be viewed as being 'controversial'.
