It was led by Babcock, the Royal Navy’s strategic support partner for the submarine flotilla, working closely with BAE Systems and the Ministry of Defence as a joint project, for optimum efficiency during the transfer from build and commission into full operational use.

The programme, undertaken at Faslane, has seen close working and industry alliancing put into practice to achieve the demanding and extensive workscope within the challenging six month timescale required.
