Coulport

Posted: 20th October 2026

WORK has started on a building which will arm the Royal Navy’s new multi-billion-pound nuclear submarines. Naval Base Commander Clyde Commodore Andy Bray recently broke ground on a new facility at Royal Naval Armament Depot (RNAD) Coulport to support future classes of submarines.
Building 300 at the site will house the Vertical Embarkation System, or VES, a new facility used to load tactical weapons onto future Dreadnought-class deterrent submarines.
