The UK and Rolls-Royce Submarines are always looking to the future and work is already underway on the replacement for the UK’s attack capability. SSN-AUKUS will likely enter service in the 2040s and provide the UK with advanced submarine capabilities for years to come.
Leading the way in developing the future power source for the UK’s fleet of attack submarines will be a key focus in the coming years from design, engineering and build.
Under the AUKUS agreement, the US and UK have committed to supporting Australia acquire nuclear-powered submarine capabilities. As the sole authority on naval nuclear propulsion in the UK, we are committed to supporting Australia’s nuclear submarine fleet, working hand in hand with their teams to share our experiences and expertise.
