Britain plans to build 12 nuclear attack submarines

With what funds? They’re spending it faster than they take it in, between the National Health Service and tender care for the mostly Moslem illegals they so strongly desire to acquire.

[Regnum] The United Kingdom intends to build up to 12 new nuclear-powered attack submarines in response to growing threats from Russia. This was reported on the country's government website on June 1.

It is specified that the submarines will be developed and built within the framework of AUKUS, a military alliance of Australia, Great Britain and the United States. The new submarines will belong to the SSN-AUKUS class, with a nuclear propulsion plant and conventional weapons. It is planned that from the late 2030s they will replace seven Astute-class attack submarines.

"With new, sophisticated submarines patrolling international waters and our own programme to station nuclear warheads on British shores, we keep the UK safe at home and strong abroad," said UK Defence Secretary John Healey.

The nuclear warhead programme will be given $15 billion. It is noted that the announcement on the submarines' construction will be made by Prime Minister Keir Starmer on June 2 as part of the presentation of the strategic review on defence issues.

Given the UK's increasing lean toward ISLAM.
Will IRAN get them?

#7 Will IRAN get them?

Mostly Sunnis from Pakistan in Britain. So not Iran — maybe Pakistan?

#8 Just where are they planning to get the crews from?
The RN has new destroyers tied up to piers for lack of sailors, and it's always been harder to crew subs.

#9 Perfidious Albion is very adept at getting someone else to shoulder the load.

#10 #8 -- At the rate the RN builds ships (not that the USN has room to brag) the crews for these subs are 8 years old right now.

#11 Although they may be able to improve recruiting by naming this group the Mecca class.
