In all of the coverage I’ve seen, not even a hint of when these subs might actually be operational. AFAIK, there’s not even a design for this new class of subs yet. The Australian-French project had been underway for a decade but not even one sub was actually constructed.

Not for another decade atleast. The first 18 months is just establishing the task force that will lead it.
But it is a strategic step in the right direction. Australia has 3 Oceans and will play a leading role in future peace keeping in these Oceans.
These are very important steps.
