The break in submarine building between the Vanguard and Astute Classes was costly as shipyard expertise is heavily influenced by the continuity of work. MUFC has moved into the initial Concept Phase in 2018 and is spending about £20 million in 2018-19, a fraction of the budget for other submarine programs.īritish politicians have a history of being too slow to order successive submarine classes. The MUFC program emerged out of the Future Attack SubMarine program of the early 2000s (FASM). Although there is little-to-nothing on this subject on the internet, it is a good time to start an article which pieces together what we can deduce from unclassified sources and guesswork about the MUFC (Maritime Underwater Future Capability) to replace the Astute Class. With the last of seven Astute Class submarines now under construction, Royal Navy planners are already looking to the next class of British attack submarines.
