Trident contracts worth £350m unveiled by MoD

Quote:

The Ministry of Defence has awarded £350m contracts for the next generation of nuclear-armed submarines to BAE Systems, Babcock and Rolls-Royce.
The contracts are part of £3bn already set aside to start work on the replacement of the UK's fleet of four Trident nuclear submarines by 2028.

2028 is sixteen years away so it'll be interesting to see if these plans come to fruition....we're already building a carrier that could well be mothballed upon completion.
