More Money For Trident Replacement Announced

Confirming the announcement, which was first revealed in the 2015 Security Review, the Defence Secretary said: "Our nuclear deterrent provides the ultimate guarantee of our security and our way of life. Some of the £624m will be spent on new facilities at the BAE Systems site in Barrow and on developing five missile tubes made by Babcock International in Rosyth, Scotland. The UK's nuclear deterrent is currently carried on four Vanguard-class submarines.
