UK to design nuclear-powered submarines in 'significant' Aukus pact | ITV News

A new generation of British designed nuclear-powered submarines will be operated by Australia as both countries look to modernise their navies. The Aukus deal - involving Australia, the UK and US - will see the new boats in operation in the late 2030s, following a construction phase which will create thousands of jobs in the UK. SSN-Aukus submarines will be in operation for the Royal Navy by the late 2030s under the plan, and will also give Australia its first nuclear-powered capability. The UK's submarines will mainly be built by BAE Systems at Barrow-in-Furness, Cumbria, and Rolls-Royce. They will also replace the Royal Navy's Astute-class boats when they enter into operation. • Subscribe to ITV News on YouTube: http://bit.ly/2lOHmNj • Get breaking news and more stories at http://www.itv.com/news Follow ITV News on Facebook:   / itvnews   Follow ITV News on Twitter:   / itvnews   Follow ITV News on Instagram:   / itvnews
