		BAE Systems Submarine Solutions, designated the UK Submarine Centre of Excellence, has a pedigree spanning 135 years and has been entrusted with the design, development and build of many first of class vessels - those that demand the highest levels of expertise and innovation.
		The department's capabilities are applied primarily to submarines but have recently been applied successfully to both naval and commercial vessels and draw on a unique library of proven designs including hull forms, general arrangements and powering and performance characteristics.
		The submarine however, includes a nuclear reactor, together with all its safety systems and, although they are broadly similar in size, the submarine carries ten time the number or crew for five times as long.

	Flowmaster - Fluid thinking for shipbuilding engineers (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		BAE Systems Submarines have designed and built several large Auxiliary Oiler and Assault ships, which saw extensive use of Flowmaster during design and later commissioning stages.
		Using controllers enabled BAE Systems Submarines to run the sea water systems and the tanks vent systems (air) simultaneously without the need to perform compressible analyses (blowdown tank), which greatly increased speed and accuracy.
		BAE Systems Submarines have produced similar software programmes linked to Flowmaster, aimed at reducing the amount of manual operations and to reduce user errors.

	CNN.com - Bruised BAE 'to lose naval deal' - Jan. 27, 2003
		BAE Systems has not been able to deliver contracts on time and could be forced to set aside £800 million to £1 billion for cost overruns on Nimrod surveillance aircraft and Astute hunter killer nuclear submarines.
		BAE and Thales, Europe's dominant supplier of defence electronics, are battling to gain a bigger share of dwindling defence budgets in Europe and the continents most sought after deal.
		And BAE would like to win it to show investors that the group still retains the confidence of the MoD after clashes over cost overruns and Defence Secretary Geoff Hoon's comments that the company was no longer British because the majority of its shares were held by overseas investors.

		But BAE Systems was unable to disguise from the MOD the increasingly obvious fact that it was making slower progress in the detailed design and in the build up of production than had been anticipated, and that the approved ISD of June 2005 could not now be achieved.
		BAE examined other options for reducing the combat capability of the boat to improve affordability, but the cost savings were insufficient to justify compromising the capability of a boat that is required to be even more flexible than its predecessors.
		BAE Submarine Solutions reports that it completed preparations for manufacture of Boat 4 on Feb. 8, and has begun procuring combat system equipment in the shape of a towed array handling system.
