Astute Class Submarines

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what the timescales for the in-service delivery of Astute class boats are.

Answer

The UK's attack submarines are meeting their operational tasking and will continue to do so over the coming years as the current Trafalgar Class are replaced with the new Astute Class . I am withholding information on their respective planned out-of-service and in-service dates as disclosure would, or would be likely to, prejudice the capability, effectiveness or security of the Armed Forces.
