The Telegraph: All British nuclear attack submarines have been disabled
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited
[Regnum] Currently, the UK has no operational nuclear attack submarines left. They are stationed at bases and unable to sail on missions, The Telegraph reported, citing naval officials.

The publication clarified that five Astute-class submarines are awaiting maintenance and repairs, and the sixth, which has been accepted into service, is not yet ready for deployment.

"We look toothless <…> This problem has been hidden for decades. Everyone knew it was coming, but they kept putting it off, blaming it on the next leader," said former nuclear submarine commander Ryan Ramsey.

The authors of the article added that the new Dreadnought-class submarines will not enter service for many years.

The Royal Navy operates five Astute-class submarines. Another submarine, HMS Agamemnon, was launched in October 2024 and formally commissioned in September 2025, but is still undergoing trials. The UK also operates four Vanguard-class nuclear submarines. These submarines were built in the 1990s and carry Trident II (D5) ballistic missiles.

In December 2025, the British government announced that London had allocated £6 billion to develop nuclear submarine construction infrastructure. Britain had expressed its intention to build up to 12 new SSN-AUKUS-class nuclear attack submarines. The investment was intended to modernize infrastructure in Barrow and Derby and launch one new submarine every 18 months.
At least England’s Moslem colonists will not get the useful weapon for conquering the world that they’d planned. Nor the rich economy that would have supported the Master Religion in proper sultanic style — for worse than the poorest American state they might as well have stayed home. On the other hand, as we are seeing in Trump’s America, if the natives can evict the newcomers, England can be fairly quickly become what it should have been all along.

2 Also, England is still upset that the first Dictionary of English is actually American Patriot Noah Webester's and not the much later English Official Dictionary of English. They constantly claim to be the True English and trash American English but they are the FALSE English..

It needed to be said

5 Funny that England is still upset over an English dictionary but thoroughly enjoys bring in millions of immigrants who do not speak native English and are destroying English society.

...Most of 'em are already here - we maintain their Tridents and store the warheads. (Saves them money, ya know) The only ones they should have are whichever ones are on patrol when TSHTF.

And if the crew can't sail into a US port...well, we know how to find them.

11 Thanks for prompting me to look deeper. "Federal Protective Forces" - contractors working for the DOE are responsible for guarding the British nukes while they are in the US. They also guard Hanford, Lawrence Livermore, etc. Interesting group I hadn't run across previously. And as info, the NEST team now stands for Nuclear Emergency Support Team instead of Search Team. Times they are a changing

12 The Canadian Navy is standing proud. With both canoes the maple boys have twice the vessels.
