Assuming that the continuation of the Cold War in the T2K timeline pushed the Australian Government to roll out the Collins-class submarines faster than in real-life (and notwithstanding the significant teething troubles the early boats of the class suffered), I'd love for a few Royal Australian Navy diesel-electrics to have shepherded the US evacuation fleet out of Korean waters.

Even in real life HMAS Collins and HMAS Farncomb were both commissioned and in operation by the start of 1998. It would be nice to think that at least 4 of the Collins-class boats were fully operational in the T2K timeline before the war was in full swing. When operating as designed they're really capable vessels. One or two of them surviving to 2000 wouldn't be out of the question.
