Defence Nuclear Enterprise

Today colleagues from across the DNE gathered across locations to remember those who have made the ultimate sacrifice. In Bristol the annual live-streamed service gave colleagues the chance to come together to remember the service and sacrifice of generations past and present.

At the eleventh hour on the eleventh day of the eleventh month – we will remember them. #LestWeForgot #ArmisticeDay

Today we remember the contribution of British and Commonwealth military and civilian service men and women involved in the two world wars and later conflicts. #RemembranceSunday #LestWeForget

This Bonfire Night, some spectacular flashes will last just seconds 🎆. At @AWE_plc, Orion’s powerful laser pulses last a billionth of a second. This research helps us understand the safety, reliability and performance of the UK’s nuclear deterrent, which is key to UK security.

The UK nuclear weapons programme started at Aldermaston in 1950. The UK’s first operational nuclear weapon, the Blue Danube, was carried by @RoyalAirForce V-bombers from 1956. Over 75 years later @AWE_plc continues to support national security through nuclear innovation.

Over the weekend serving and retired submariners, veterans and members of the submarine community came together for the annual Submariner Remembrance Service. In the 125th year of the service we remember and honour every submariner that did not return. #LestWeForget #SM125

Maddy McTernan @ChiefDefNuclear has been in the US meeting key partners and seeing how the next generation of naval nuclear specialists are trained. A visit to the Naval Nuclear Power Training Command highlighted the skills needed for safe and effective naval nuclear operations.

The 4th Submarine Maintenance Period is a major step towards establishing Submarine Rotational Force-West in Western Australia and demonstrates critical progress made across AUKUS. Following on from HMS Anson's SMP, it'll see increased use of a local industry and infrastructure.

USS Colorado has arrived at HMAS Stirling for the US Submarine Maintenance Period (SMP). The 4th maintenance period in Western Australia, it's a clear demonstration of AUKUS progress. #TeamDNE is providing critical maintenance support throughout. This is AUKUS in action.

Congratulations to the first cohort of engineers who've been recognised at the Submarine Delivery Group's Fellowship Scheme award ceremony. The scheme recognises the deep technical expertise our people develop and maintain, which is essential to delivering our mission.

Our mission is to keep safe and capable submarines at sea, maintain our nuclear warheads and deliver the nuclear deterrent to protect national and global security. Learn more about the enterprise: gov.uk/government/organisati…

The DNE is responsible for delivering some of defences most complex projects. To do this, we need skilled people across the UK. We're currently recruiting for 👇: - nuclear fuels - engineering - project controls - governance - finance Apply: ow.ly/RWEs50ZZmVe

The Dreadnought Class will deliver the next generation of our nuclear deterrent. Driving economic growth and supporting tens of thousands of jobs, they'll protect the UK from the most extreme threats to our national security and way of life. Learn more: gov.uk/government/publicatio…

The DNE ensures the UK maintains a safe, secure, and reliable warhead stockpile while working on the replacement warhead programme, Astraea. Delivered by @AWE_plc, they've developed, manufactured, and maintained the UK’s nuclear warheads for over 75 years.

Do you want to join an enterprise that supports national security? We're hiring in a range of locations across #TeamDNE. From Barrow to Plymouth, we need dedicated people who are ready to support this national endeavour. Apply: ow.ly/Q8PM50ZUUTn

A formidable attack submarine, HMS Agamemnon's name carries a historical lineage. Many stories have been written about the previous Agamemnons, and this is where the next chapter begins. Find out more 👇.

One of the most advanced submarines ever built, HMS Agamemnon will play a key role in boosting security in the UK and across @NATO.

The Submarine Service has come a long way since 1901. It not only keeps our country safe but supports jobs across the UK and showcases the best of British engineering. Here are just some key moments from the last 125 years 👇. 📸: IWM

From the pioneering Holland 1 to today's cutting-edge HMS Agamemnon, the Submarine Service has been at the heart of keeping the UK safe for 125 years. Now, as the sixth Astute Class submarine arrives at HMNB Clyde for the first time, we continue that proud history.

🗓️ #OTD in 1901 the @RoyalNavy's first submarine was launched. 125 years later, Director General Submarines, Sir Chris Gardner and Director Submarine Support, RAdm Martyn Boyes discuss their time in the Submarine Service. Watch the full conversation: ow.ly/7yvx50ZTQUj
