answer text <p>There have been two submarine Deep Maintenance Periods (refits) during the last ten years. HMS Vengeance underwent a refit from March 2012 to February 2016 at a cost of £322 million. HMS Vanguard’s refit and refuel commenced in February 2016. Whilst HMS Vanguard has left His Majesty's Naval Base (HMNB) Devonport, the upkeep project continues with post refit sea trials. I am withholding the estimated cost as its disclosure would prejudice commercial interests.</p><p> </p> more like this
