It comes as the outbreak of war has triggered a wave of speculation that the world is on the brink of a new Cold War, and focused nations on their nuclear capabilities. Dreadnought is set to be the largest ever built for the Royal Navy. This third phase of the programme, which is projected to cost a total of nearly £10bn, will deliver the first submarine for trials at sea by 2030. The Ministry of Defence has awarded defence contracts to BAE Systems and Rolls Royce to build four Dreadnought-class submarines, which will replace Britain’s current Vanguard vessels that carry Trident nuclear warheads. Britain has invested £2bn to forge ahead with its new nuclear deterrent amid the rising threat from Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine.
