| Cracks were found in the reactor in 1992 and was decommissioned the same year. Swiftsure is currently in dry dock at Rosyth, in Scotland, where it is being carefully dismantled. An estimated 90% of her total weight will be repurposed, with some of the high-quality steel used to create components for future Royal Navy submarines. Swiftsure is set to be first of the UK's decommissioned nuclear submarines to be fully dismantled by the end of 2026. | |
