Save the Royal Navy

The delivery of the United Kingdomʼs
first Dreadnought-class nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarine (SSBN)
remains within budget and on schedule, the UK Ministry of Defence (MoD) has
said in its annual report on the program.
The report, ʻThe United Kingdom’s Future
Nuclear Deterrent: 2018 Update to Parliament’, adds that work will be
undertaken over the next six months to “analyse in greater detail the programme
risks, and identify opportunities to increase flexibility in the schedule and
reduce programme costs”.
In 2016 the UK parliament voted to retain
the UK’s nuclear deterrent and replace the Royal Navy’s (RN’s) four
Vanguard-class submarines with four new Dreadnought-class SSBNs.
