Not sure that is true. Work with someone who's son is in the RN and he said don't believe all that you hear

We've actually got a secret 8th ... which is also not operational?

He is probably right though, it will be something ridiculous like them all having maintenance and doing it at the same time saves costs. Probably also true that if they had to be deployed immediately then they could be. But that wouldn't give the media a story I guess!

so everyone at the BBC is lying then

Though the report stated at the end that there were subs operational and available but could not be confirmed where they are by the MOD....to this end can the report be strictly true?

Besides don't confuse these subs with the 4 Vanguard Class that provide our Nuclear Deterrent.

Sure the MOD are going to tell the BBC what we have at our disposal and where it is. Like f**k.

Think the BBC story is more highlighting the fact the the aging and due to be replaced Trafalgar class are not fully covered by the current new 3 Astute class.

Next they will telling us we have Aircraft carriers without aircraft..
