Royal Navy: New nuclear submarine HMS Dreadnought construction “remains on track” – when will she enter fleet? Work to design and build sophisticated new nuclear submarines “remains on track”. Four ballistic missile underwater vessels are being constructed at the cost of £41bn. The dreadnought-class submarines are being built to bolster the Royal Navy fleet and the British nuclear deterrent. Ben Obese-Jecty MP, Conservative MP for Huntingdon, asked the Ministry of Defence (MoD) in a parliamentary written question about the vessels completion dates. Minister of defence procurement, Maria Eagle, said exact dates will not be given for security reasons, but has set out a timeframe for when the first of the class, HMS Dreadnought, will enter the fleet.
