All British submarines are out of service and are undergoing maintenance. This was reported on June 7 by The Telegraph newspaper, citing sources.

On May 10, The Times newspaper learned about Britain's plans to spend up to 200,000 pounds on redesigning women's uniforms due to the fact that its buttons diverged in the chest area.

Six days earlier, the former head of the United Kingdom's Armed Forces Joint Command, Richard Barrons, had pointed out that London did not have the money to buy new weapons until 2030.
