HC Deb 21 December 1961 vol 651 c195W
Commander Courtney

asked the Civil Lord of the Admiralty when it is anticipated that Her Majesty's nuclear submarines "Dreadnought" and"Valiant" will join the fleet.

Mr. C. Ian Orr-Ewing

We hope to accept the "Dreadnought" for service by the end of 1962.

The "Valiant" will not be laid down until next month. It is not the practice to announce dates of completion so long in advance.
