£25m Centre To Teach Apprentices How To Build New Subs

BAE Systems has announced plans for a £25 million training centre to teach apprentices how to build the next fleet of nuclear deterrent submarines.

And as Forces TV's Hannah King reports, having a workforce with the correct skills to build the boats is essential.
