Astute Class Submarines
(asked on 30th November 2015) - View Source
Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what consideration they have given to building a further Astute-class submarine after HMS Anson to fill the gap in the building programme at Barrow.
This question was answered on 8th December 2015
None. Strategic Defence and Security Review 10 established a coherent build programme through Astute hulls 1-7 (Anson is hull 5) into Successor hulls 1-4. That remains the plan. There is no gap in the build programme.
