The Navy entered into a unique partnership to bring the SSGN concept to fruition. All four submarines required an Engineered Refueling Overhaul (ERO) in addition to extensive conversion work.
The new concepts were dreamed up by scientists from BAE Systems, Rolls Royce, Lockheed Martin and the Ministry of Defence, who were asked to envisage submarine warfare in 50 years' time.
Rolls-Royce has unveiled new mtu energy and automation solutions developed for future submarines at the Euronaval exhibition in Paris this week (4th-7th November 2024).
