<p>The Ministry of Defence (MOD) is committed to working closely with Babcock to safely
deliver submarine support work, including planned maintenance projects. The MOD has
an existing team in Devonport in support of submarine maintenance delivery; this is
part of a long-standing arrangement, which now includes increased performance monitoring.
It is the policy of Her Majesty's Government that we do not comment on submarine operations.
Having four nuclear-armed submarines ensures at least one is on patrol at all times,
taking account of the cycle of deployment, training and maintenance.</p>
