The Successor programme refers to the replacement of the existing UK Trident programme of submarine-launched nuclear missiles. This would involve replacing the Vanguard class of four Trident ballistic-missile armed submarines with a new class designed to continue a nuclear deterrent after the current boats reach the end of their service lives. The government has begun planning a new submarine-based system but there is opposition from those who want to take the opportunity for full nuclear disarmament or replacement with a cheaper, less capable nuclear weapon delivery system. On 18 May 2011 the British government approved the initial assessment phase for the construction of new Trident submarines.

  • The Successor programme refers to the replacement of the existing UK Trident programme of submarine-launched nuclear missiles. This would involve replacing the Vanguard class of four Trident ballistic-missile armed submarines with a new class designed to continue a nuclear deterrent after the current boats reach the end of their service lives. The government has begun planning a new submarine-based system but there is opposition from those who want to take the opportunity for full nuclear disarmament or replacement with a cheaper, less capable nuclear weapon delivery system. On 18 May 2011 the British government approved the initial assessment phase for the construction of new Trident submarines. The term "Trident" is widely used to refer to Britain's entire current system of nuclear weapons, including the relevant submarines, missiles and warheads. "Trident" is also the shortened name of the system's submarine-launched ballistic missile, the UGM-133 Trident II D-5.
