It is specified that the submarines will be developed and built within the framework of AUKUS, a military alliance of Australia, Great Britain and the United States. The new submarines will belong to the SSN-AUKUS class, with a nuclear propulsion plant and conventional weapons. It is planned that from the late 2030s they will replace seven Astute-class attack submarines.
"With new, sophisticated submarines patrolling international waters and our own programme to station nuclear warheads on British shores, we keep the UK safe at home and strong abroad," said UK Defence Secretary John Healey.
The nuclear warhead programme will be given $15 billion. It is noted that the announcement on the submarines' construction will be made by Prime Minister Keir Starmer on June 2 as part of the presentation of the strategic review on defence issues.
