The UK will build up to 12 new attack submarines, the prime
minister will announce as the government unveils its major
defence review on Monday.
The review is expected to recommend the armed forces move
to "warfighting readiness" to deter growing threats faced
by the UK.
Sir Keir Starmer will say up to 12 conventionally-armed
nuclear-powered submarines will replace the UK's current
fleet from the late 2030s onwards.
. . .
TOO LATE !!! Should have started like FIVE YEARS AGO.
These things - IF you can afford them at all - will
take longer to build than we HAVE.
We need major deterrence to Russia/China NOW - it
isn't really there.
The general attitude for a long time is that "we have
forever".
Well, NOT !!!
