HMS Vengeance’s seven-month patrol prompts concerns about slow pace of maintenance of ageing fleet and impact on crew
A Trident nuclear submarine has concluded a record seven-month deployment, returning to the Faslane naval base in Scotland where its crew was greeted by the defence secretary, Wes Streeting.
HMS Vengeance began its patrol on 12 April and spent 217 days submerged before returning on Sunday, having left the country when Keir Starmer was in Downing Street and Manchester United were third in the Premier League.
