The UK government has confirmed that a strategy is in place to upgrade infrastructure to accommodate the Royal Navy’s new Dreadnought-class nuclear submarines, but details remain classified for security reasons.
In response to multiple parliamentary questions from Graeme Downie MP, Defence Minister Maria Eagle stated that the Ministry of Defence (MOD) is upgrading existing naval bases and dockyards to support the repairs and maintenance of the four planned Dreadnought-class ballistic missile submarines (SSBNs). However, further details cannot be disclosed due to operational security concerns.
Eagle stated:
“For operational security reasons, further details cannot be released as to do so could be used to undermine the security and capability of our Armed Forces.”
Despite concerns over rising defence costs, the government reaffirmed its commitment to delivering the four Dreadnought-class submarines within the original £41 billion budget, which includes a £10 billion contingency fund. The first of class, HMS Dreadnought, remains scheduled to enter service in the early 2030s.
Royal Navy on path to resolve submarine maintenance capacity
According to Eagle:
“The programme remains on track to manufacture four Dreadnought-class submarines within the original cost estimate of £41 billion, consisting of £31 billion and a contingency of £10 billion.”
The Dreadnought-class submarines will replace the ageing Vanguard-class SSBNs, ensuring the continuity of the UK’s Continuous At-Sea Deterrence (CASD) well into the 2060s.
While the government has acknowledged ongoing upgrades to UK dockyards, it has not specified how many docks will be required by 2035 or which bases will host Dreadnought-class maintenance operations. However, it is widely expected that HMNB Clyde (Faslane) and Devonport will play key roles in maintaining the next-generation deterrent submarines.

Someone needs to deal with these bots.
Anyway back to the article. Would it make more sense to expand the docks to be able to host more than the 4 new submarines? Heck you never know the government may think “Oh blimey! We need more submarines!”. Even if they’re not the Dreadnought class it wouldn’t hurt.
In the event of a nuclear war you may launch your US supplied Tridents……..peovided you have been given the codes by the President…….The French ,well they are ok they have built their own missiles,they are a bit more savvy than the British.
Yawn.
The funny thing is, even the Prime Minister (or indeed anyone not on the boat or in a position to sink it in a hurry) couldn’t stop the Trident sub launching missiles if the crew collectively decided to do so.
Essentially the fate of the free world is in the hands of the senior officers on board those subs.
The Crew of a Vanguard/Dreadnought class Submarine cannot ‘collectively’ Launch Trident Missiles,if that it what you are implying.
Even with a fifth hull we would still need to lease the missiles from the US.
We should buy them outright like we did with Polaris.
Utter waste of money, no one least of all Mad Vlad believes a liberal intellectual like Starmer would ever unleash any ICBMs on anyone
I’m a liberal intellectual and I’d happily unleash the entire Trident arsenal on Russia if they had launched a full scale nuclear attack on the UK. I doubt Starmer is much different.
Starmer may be a cold fish, but I don’t think he would look at the radioactive ash of a once British city & not want revenge.
