Rear Admiral Philip Mathias, one of Britain’s most senior nuclear experts, has issued a severe warning that the UK’s nuclear submarine programme is “at breaking point,” citing years of under-investment, maintenance failures, and overstretched crews. Mathias says the crisis threatens the credibility of the continuous at-sea deterrent and argues Britain should withdraw from the AUKUS pact, claiming the UK lacks the capacity to build submarines for Australia while stabilising its own fleet. His intervention comes amid growing Russian submarine activity in the North Atlantic. The government rejects his assessment, insisting the nuclear programme and AUKUS remain on track.
