UK TO EXPAND SUBMARINE FLEET – As Defence Review Calls for increase in ‘Warfighting Readiness’
Britain will increase the size of its nuclear-powered attack submarine fleet, the government has announced ahead of a defence review expected to say the country must invest billions to be ready and equipped to fight a modern war.

Britain is set to build up to 12 new nuclear-powered attack submarines in response to rapidly increasing global threats, Sir Keir Starmer will announce as he unveils his long-awaited defence review.
The Ministry of Defence (MoD) will also spend £15bn on new warheads for the UK’s nuclear deterrent, the prime minister will reveal for the first time, as part of plans to make the country ready for war.
Ministers must act “decisively to face down Russian aggression” and ensure Britain is “secure at home and strong abroad”, the defence secretary John Healey warned.
Prime Minister Keir Starmer, like other leaders across Europe, is racing to rebuild his country’s defence capabilities after U.S. President Donald Trump told the continent it needed to take more responsibility for its own security.
