The longest ever ‘mega-unit’ so far for Dreadnought Boat 1 has been moved down the road into BAE Systems Submarines’ Devonshire Dock Hall in Barrow.
At more than 20m, it was the longest submarine unit to move by road since the fore-end mega-unit moved to the hall for the final Vanguard boat in the mid-1990s.
This mega-unit will now take its place on the Dreadnought build line as we continue construction of the next generation of deterrent submarine.
Three of the four Dreadnought submarines are currently under construction in Barrow and will deploy into the Royal Navy fleet in the early 2030s.
