The keel of the first of the UK’s new Dreadnought submarines, the most powerful and technically advanced boats ever designed for the Royal Navy, has been laid at BAE Systems’ Barrow-in-Furness shipyard.
HMS Dreadnought is the first of four Dreadnought Class ballistic missile submarines, which BAE Systems is designing and building in Cumbria, and will succeed the Vanguard Class of submarines.
The ceremonial event, attended by UK Prime Minister, Sir Keir Starmer, and Secretary of State for Defence, John Healey, marked a significant milestone in the programme to maintain the UK’s Continuous at Sea Deterrent (CASD) and protect national security.
The Dreadnought Class will begin to enter service in the early 2030s. CASD will be maintained throughout the transition from Vanguard to Dreadnought Class.
