Navy submarinesare serviced at the shipyard
The British Navy's submarines are serviced at the shipyard in the north-western English town of Barrow-in-Furness, including the four ships of the "Vanguard" class, which can be equipped with nuclear missiles.
The successor model "Dreadnought", which is due to enter service in the early 2030s, is also being built in Barrow-in-Furness. The UK, a nuclear power, has four nuclear submarines, at least one of which is permanently in service.
