UK Chancellor announced 500 million pounds for Faslane submarine base

More than £500 million will be spent on ship lifts, sea walls, jetties and other major projects to ensure Faslane continues as a world leading naval base; home to Astute and Successor submarines, their crews and engineers until at least 2067.(…)
From 2020, Faslane will be the Royal Navy’s „Submarine Centre of Specialisation“ which means all of the UK’s underwater capability will be based in Scotland. The Ministry of Defence also expect to base Successor class submarines at Faslane when they come into service from 2028.
