    If you don't ask other countries to tender the UK based shipbuilders will inflate the price, competition is good but UK should always be chosen unless they are taking the piss on price.

    If UK unions want guarantees that things will be built at home, they need to lift their game and stop acting like they own the workers. They need to learn to work with companies rather than against them.

      Your clearly not seeing the bigger picture. The United Kingdom is a leading aid giver. This massively helps out the U.K, as in return to aid for their citizens, these countries will form close alliances with us, allow us to create military bases there, etc... It’s a win win.

      They have made it clear these ships will be built in the UK. The only 'foreign' involvement is in one of the two teams bidding: 'Team Resolute' is a partnership between Harland & Wolff (now owned by Infrastrata Plc), naval architects BMT and Spanish shipbuilders, Navantia. They will use Navantia to upskill the Belfast workforce where the ships would be built and BMT will modify a base Navantia design.
      The other bidders are 'Team UK' which is the all-British consortium of BAE Systems, Babcock, Cammell Laird and Rolls Royce.
      Both will present difficult political decisions.
