According to information published by the "Times" newspaper, three of the four Vanguard class submarines that make up the British Navy are now at sea. This phenomenon is quite rare, as it has not occurred for more than five years. One of these submarines is equipped with nuclear-tipped Trident ballistic missiles, while the other two are apparently engaged in naval trials or preparations for combat missions. The fourth submarine, which is named Victory, is currently undergoing routine maintenance at Davenport. Naval sources described the situation as unique, but emphasized that it could indicate an increase in the Royal Navy's operational readiness rather than a signal aimed at Russia.
