The United Kingdom has confirmed that one of its Royal Navy nuclear-powered submarines surfaced close to the Yantar, a notorious Russian spy ship late last year, to make it clear it was being observed.

In a message to Vladimir Putin, Defence Secretary John Healey said ‘we see you, we know what you are doing and we will not shy away from robust action to protect this country’

Rolls-Royce has announced the signing of the biggest contract in its history with the United Kingdom’s Ministry of Defense for design, making, and support for the nuclear reactors that power the Royal Navy’s submarines.
