Nuclear Submarines: Deployment
- Question
-
To ask His Majesty's Government whether the reason that none of the Royal Navy’s six commissioned SSNs was at sea at the end of August, as shown by open source reporting, relates to inadequate material state, support infrastructure issues, crew shortages, or a combination of those; and whether Project Resolution will resolve such long-standing issues.
- Answer
-
We can confirm that we are meeting all our operational commitments, and will continue to ensure we have the workforce, support arrangements and facilities required to maintain availability in the future. For operational security reasons we do not comment on the availability of Royal Navy submarines.
