#6 Nuclear capable... yes. But not likely the role they would play. Any air dropped nukes would be done via B-2 or cruise missile. Buffs are just to vulnerable to anti-air systems.

If they are used it would be as a missile boat and possibly fire a shit ton of AGM-158 JASSMs at the problem.

#7 The AUKUS thing is going to start taking shape in the next 12 months (or less). This will be a decades long commitment that could re-shape the strategic layout in Asia Pacific. If the ChiComms are mad about 6 x BUFFs, wait until they see what AUKUS brings.
