Trident Replacement Submarines
- Question
- Whether any components for the construction of Trident replacement submarines are to be purchased prior to main gate decision in 2016.
- Answer
-
We are currently considering the initial gate business case for the successor submarine and, as part of the next phase of work, we would expect to purchase some long-lead items so that the first boat can be delivered in 2028. This is normal good practice for major build programmes.
