The UK will build up to 12 new attack submarines, the prime minister Keir Starmer will announce as the government unveils its major defence review on Monday.
The review is expected to recommend the armed forces move to "warfighting readiness" to deter growing threats faced by the UK.
Sir Keir Starmer will say up to 12 conventionally-armed nuclear-powered submarines will replace the UK's current fleet from the late 2030s onwards.
