UK Vanguard-class

The UK Vanguard-class refers to a fleet of four submarines used by the Royal Navy for nuclear deterrence. These submarines are specially designed to carry and launch Trident ballistic missiles, which serve as a powerful deterrent against potential threats. Built for stealth and security, they operate quietly underwater for extended periods, ensuring continuous national defense. The Vanguard-class submarines are among the most advanced and secretive military assets, symbolizing the UK’s strategic nuclear capability, and are maintained and operated to ensure safety, reliability, and compliance with international arms control agreements.
