UK puts three of four nuclear submarines to sea
Original: submarine
The UK has deployed three of its four Vanguard-class nuclear deterrent submarines at the same time, in what reports describe as unusual circumstances and a show of force days after joint air strike drills with France. Critics say Britain is escalating nuclear tensions. Meanwhile, the US Navy and Anduril have announced a $6.6 billion investment to expand America's submarine shipbuilding capacity, and reports say Russia transferred non-nuclear submarine technology to China.
Why now: An unusually large simultaneous deployment of the UK's nuclear deterrent submarines has drawn attention to global submarine and nuclear tensions.
