We continually assess the capability of the United Kingdom's nuclear submarine fleet to ensure its operational effectiveness and to maintain resilience and protection against both existing and emerging threats, including cyber threats. Her Majesty’s Government has absolute confidence in the robust measures in place to keep the United Kingdom’s nuclear deterrent safe and secure.
