These nuclear-armed vessels will replace the current Vanguard-class, capable of launching Trident 2 D5 ballistic missiles, and will be powered by a Rolls-Royce nuclear propulsion system. The funding will primarily support the progress of HMS Dreadnought, the first of four new submarines, towards readiness, and advance the second vessel, HMS Valiant, to sea trials. The investment aims to protect Britain and create 47,000 jobs and apprenticeships across the UK, with £5.9bn allocated to BAE Systems and £2.5bn to the wider supply chain. The announcement also highlights the government's commitment to reindustrialising Britain and tackling youth joblessness, amidst ongoing discussions about defence spending targets.
