The Dreadnought Programme is of the utmost importance to the security of the UK, indeed the world.

About us

The Dreadnought programme is about the design, development and manufacture of four new Dreadnought class ballistic missile submarines. When they enter service in the early 2030s, replacing the Vanguard Class, they will be the largest submarines ever operated by the Royal Navy. The submarines will be built in 16 units, grouped into three ‘mega units’ (Aft, Mid and Forward) in order to optimise the overall build timeframe. Each submarine will be built by BAE Systems Submarines in Barrow-in-Furness and their nuclear propulsion systems will be built by Rolls Royce Submarines in Derby. The build phase for all four submarines will take approximately 20 years.

    Do you know anyone who worked on the UK's first nuclear-powered submarine HMS Dreadnought?   This photo from the archives shows Dreadnought (pennant number S101) in July 1964; alongside the Royal Navy submarine depot ship, HMS Maidstone (A185) with a Type 15 anti-submarine frigate, HMS Ursa (F200) on the far right.   In case you missed it, have a read of our chat with one of our current Dreadnought engineers – whose Dad served on board the first HMS Dreadnought submarine. We've put a link in the first comment. 👇   Please share your memories in the comments too.   📷 Photo - UK MOD © Crown copyright 2021   Submarine Delivery Agency BAE Systems BAE Systems Maritime Rolls-Royce Royal Navy UK Ministry of Defence #Defence #submarine #engineering #Dreadnought
