Class
Built as the replacement for the Resolution (Polaris) Class. The Vanguard Class of Ballistic Missile Submarines were announced by the Ministry of defense in 1980. The Class was to consist of 4 submarines HMS Vanguard, Victorious, Vigilant and Vengeance. and were to be armed with the American Trident UGM-93A Ballistic Missile. the Missile system was changed to the D5 Trident II. `(The Trident II D5 Missile is the only ballistic Missile used by the Riyal navy. it is built by Lockheed Martin in the US. The Vanguard submarines can carry up to 16 missiles which is are capable of carrying 6 warheads. (British built Thermonuclear) But at present the British Government policy is to carry only 4 warheads instead of 6)The British Submarines share Missiles with the US Navy which reduces costs. and the missiles are kept at Kings bay Georgia, where they are loaded onto the Submarines.
