Might not have the orders, but we definitely have the need for at least 2 x shipyards for the building of “escorts”.

Re: Astute Class Attack Submarine (SSN) (RN)
Let us hope then, that the RN have contingency plans to retain Triumph and re-commission Trenchant and Talent, to cover the gap until we can boast a mixed flotilla of at least 10 Astute/AUKUS boats.
