BAE Systems Dreadnought programme hits new milestone

BAE Systems Dreadnought programme hits new milestone

The newest section of the first Dreadnought submarine to be built at BAE Systems in Barrow-in-Furness has been moved, as work on the first of class continues.

The Dreadnought programme is one of the most complex engineering projects in the UK and employs more than 7,000 people across industry and MoD, with thousands more in the supply chain.

The unit was the first to make use of new material designed to improve protection for submarine sections as they are moved around the site during construction.

Four Dreadnought-Class submarines will be built in Barrow to replace the Vanguard-Class that are currently in service with the Royal Navy. HMS Dreadnought, the first of the new fleet, is scheduled to be delivered in the early 2030s.
