The UK Ministry of Defence is set to launch a £1 billion order for three new military support ships that will go to full international tender.
New fleet solid support ships are needed to service the UK’s £6.3bn Queen Elizabeth-class aircraft carriers and their strike force of new F-35 fighter planes.
The GMB union says as many as 6,700 jobs will be created or secured if a UK shipbuilder wins the order.
