British-led design chosen for AUKUS submarine project
Delighted to see that the first generation of AUKUS nuclear submarines will be built in the UK and Australia, based on the UK’s world-leading submarine design.
UK’s submarines will be in operation by the late 2030s following massive, trilateral building project which will create thousands of jobs in the UK.
This is a significant step forward for our three nations as we work together to contribute to security in the Indo-Pacific and across the world.
Supporting thousands of jobs across the UK, with many in the north-west of England, this endeavour will boost prosperity across our country and showcase the prowess of British industry to our allies and partners.
