The UK is building four new Dreadnought-class SSBNs for the Royal Navy that will take over the nuclear deterrent role from the existing four Vanguard-class submarines. Previously known as the Successor programme, the Dreadnought boats will be built by BAE Systems Submarine Solutions yard in Barrow. The whole life cost of the four new submarines is slated at £31 billion ($42 billion) across the vessels’ 35-year service life. The first will enter service in the
2030s.
