It operates one of the few shipyards in the world capable of designing and building nuclear submarines, which has constructed all but three of the Royal Navy's nuclear-powered submarines since the commissioning of HMS ''Dreadnought'' in 1963. The exceptions were HMS ''Conqueror'', HMS ''Renown'' and HMS ''Revenge'', which were built by Cammell Laird.
