Over the past year we’ve engaged over 82,000 children in STEM activities. Our Festival of Engineering introduces children to the career paths STEM offers – inspiring the next generation, supporting the UK’s future engineering capability and delivering the Defence Dividend.
Last week we celebrated the Trafalgar-Class fleet. As part of our ongoing support spanning the lifecycle of these complex assets, we’re committed to safely managing their transition into the decommissioning phase. It's what lifetime engineering is all about.
Utterly. Brilliant. Boats. The Trafalgar class of hunter-killer submarines passed into history with the decommissioning of HMS Triumph in @HMNBDevonport, the last of 7 T boats which have patrolled beneath the waves for more than four decades. 🔗royalnavy.mod.uk/news/2025/july…
Our early career programmes are one of the ways we deliver long-term value across the UK. With nearly 1800 apprentice and graduate roles, we’re delivering real skills, long-term careers and national value. It’s all part of the Defence Dividend: ow.ly/GrV050WrHOK
We were proud to support the celebrations at Devonport yesterday, formally marking the end of HMS Astute’s first commission. After 15 years of continuous service around the globe, she’s being handed over to us for her multi-million-pound mid-life refit.
HM The Queen was today appointed Vice Admiral of the United Kingdom when she visited the submarine she sponsors, HMS Astute, in @HMNBDevonport. She met crew and families, thanking both for their stoicism and commitment to the safety of the UK. royalnavy.mod.uk/news/2025/july…

This #ArmedForcesWeek we’re showing our support to the armed forces community whose hard work, dedication and efforts keep us safe. At a time when national security has never been more important, we’re proud to work alongside them to create a safe and secure world, together.
It’s been almost a week since HMS Venturer entered the water for the first time, marking a major milestone for our Type 31 programme. Take a look at the moment she sailed back to Rosyth where work is now continuing in preparation for sea trials.
It was great to welcome @RichParkerLab, Mayor of the West Midlands, to view our General Logistics Vehicle (GLV) family of 4x4s at our production facility in Walsall. As a key local employer, our work in the West Midlands plays an important role in supporting national security.
Defence spending means more jobs in our region. That’s why Labour’s backing fantastic firms like @Babcockplc - and we're ready support more brilliant businesses to grow, creating even more opportunities.
A huge step forward for the Type 31 programme, HMS Venturer successfully completed her first entry into the water – a milestone on her journey to becoming a fully operational warship. She now starts the next phase of outfit and systems integration in Rosyth before sea trials.
We’ve signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Polish Air Force University, unveiling plans to use leading edge technology and sensory rich training to prepare military personnel for the fast-changing nature of modern warfare. ow.ly/kl9J50W94AK
Today HMS Venturer has left Rosyth as she starts her final preparations for entry into water, marking another significant step forward for the Type 31 programme. Stay tuned…
We’re igniting a spark in Bristol today with the launch of our new apprentice welding school. The new school will fuse traditional training with augmented reality, providing a skills boost to the region and UK defence. babcockinternational.com/news/babcock-s…
We’ve been awarded a three-year contract to prepare for the first nuclear defueling of a decommissioned Trafalgar Class submarine in over 20 years. Works will take place at Devonport in parallel with our large-scale infrastructure development programme. ow.ly/L9SQ50W4B3L
We're always pleased to support these important initiatives and help inspire the next generation.
It was a pleasure to welcome Inzievar Primary to Westminster last week. After pupils toured our historic Parliament, they asked me lots of clever, thoughtful questions before heading off to enjoy the rest of their trip - thanks to @Babcockplc’s support dunfermlinepress.com/news/25211081.…
