Vickers Yard Awarded $1-Billion RN Contract To Build Trident Sub The British Governent has awarded a contract valued at some $1 billion to the recently privatized Vickers Shipbuilding & Engineering Ltd. (VSEL) of Barrow-in-Furness for construction of the first of four nuclear-powered Trident subma- rines. The contract includes about $308 million in first-of-class devel- opment costs that will not be in- cluded in contracts for the three f'ol- low-on boats. Rolls Royce has been selected to develop the vessel's reactor and pro- pulsion system (PWR 2), and Gen- eral Dynamics will be responsible for the strategic weapons system spaces. To be named HMS Van- guard, the first Trident submarine is scheduled for delivery in the mid- 1990s.
