§ Mr. Llew SmithTo ask the Secretary of State for Defence to which docklands each of the strategic submarine nuclear, SSN, and strategic submarine ballistic nuclear SSBN, nuclear-powered submarines have been earmarked for storage afloat when they are withdrawn from operational service.
§ Mr. FreemanThe location of each nuclear-powered submarine that has left Royal Navy service is provided in the following table. All these submarines, except HMS Valiant and HMS Resolution, have completed the process of defuelling, de-equipping and lay-up preparations and are stored afloat in suitable berths. It is not our practice to reveal in advance details of decommissioning plans for nuclear-powered submarines currently in service.
