Britain moves closer to nuclear-powered surface warships.

There has been an update on the Royal Navy’s effort to explore nuclear-powered surface ships, building on its earlier Request for Information (RFI) issued last year.
The Ministry of Defence (MOD) has now invited industrial stakeholders to a workshop at Navy Command HQ in Portsmouth on 20 February 2025 to discuss the feasibility and strategic vision for a novel nuclear-powered navy.
According to the updated notice, “This will be an opportunity for the Royal Navy to engage with industrial stakeholders on a novel Nuclear Surface Fleet then seek industry’s view on investigating a plausible strategic vision for a novel nuclear navy focusing on the operational advantages and feasibility of nuclear technology in naval surface applications.”
