UK secures £10bn deal to supply Norway with warships
The UK secures £10bn deal to supply Norway with Type 26 frigates, boosting UK jobs and national security. The biggest-ever British warship export deal will support over 4,000 UK jobs, with construction at BAE Systems' Glasgow shipyards. The agreement strengthens NATO's northern flank with a combined UK-Norwegian fleet of 13 anti-submarine frigates, enhancing defense cooperation between the two countries. Deliveries are expected to start in 2030, aiding in combating the threat of Russian submarines in the North Atlantic.
