Australian submariners are already training in nuclear submarine technology in the US, Mr Albanese revealed.
Meanwhile, a new submarine base to house the nuclear-powered-AUKUS fleet will be created along the east coast with Port Kembla, in NSW, tipped as the new location.
Mr Albanese said the AUKUS deal strengthens the military relationship with the US and UK.
'A friendship built on our shared values, our commitment to democracy and our common vision for a peaceful and a prosperous future,' he said.
'This is only the first time in 65 years and only the second time in history that the United States has shared its nuclear propulsion technology. And we thank you for it.
'This is a genuine trilateral undertaking. All three nations stand ready to contribute and all three nations stand ready to benefit.'
The US State Department has approved the potential sale of Tomahawk cruise missiles to Australia in a deal valued at up to $1.3billion
