The 135 crew aboard HMS Vanguard - carrying up to 96 nuclear warheads - thought they were seconds from death.They were left helpless after a power failure aboard the 600 million pound Trident sub sent it into an uncontrolled dive.Only the quick thinking of the crew at the helm prevented a major nuclear catastrophe.

HMS TORBAY [S118] Devonport submarine HMS Torbay's return to service from a major refit could be delayed after a problem was detected with her nuclear reactor.
The new problem has emerged less than three months after a line was drawn under the saga involving HMS TIRELESS [S117], Torbay's sister boat, which remained in Gibraltar for a year while a leak in her reactor cooling system was fixed.
The remaining boats are all undergoing maintenance – HMS TRENCHANT [S91] is reported to be half way through a two-year refit, TURBULENT [S110]is having her weapons upgraded, and TALENT [S92] is having her reactor defect repaired.

Sie wird die drei ältesten U-Boote HMS Trafalgar, HMS Turbulent und HMS Tireless ersetzen.

 Virtual Globetrotting: Two Trafalgar Class Fleet Submarines
The Trafalgar class submarines were, until the introduction of the Astute class, the Royal Navy's most advanced nuclear fleet submarines (SSNs).
It is an attack submarine and is essentially a refinement of the Swiftsure class, designed six years later than its predecessor.
Development of this system was not complete in time for installation in the class's name-ship vessel, HMS Trafalgar, and so the pump-jet was first used in the second in the class, HMS Turbulent.

Turbulent was ordered on July 28th 1978, Tireless on July 5th 1979, Torbay on June 26th 1981, Trenchant on March 22nd 1983, Talent on September 10th 1984 finally Triumph on July 3rd 1986.
Rather than the seven/nine-bladed propeller used by the Swiftsures, Trafalgar class submarines use pump-jet propulsion - a high-pitch, low-revolution propeller which is much quieter but much heavier than conventional propeller designs.
The hull is also covered in anechoic tiles which are designed to absorb sound rather than reflect it, making the boats more difficult to detect with active sonar.

I recall the mess that was found when HMS Ocean went into operational service.
They found that the osmosis plant couldn't provide enough potable water for the ships needs and had to add another unit - now that is a serious design screwup.
So apart from the period starting from the mid-90's the UK shipbuilding industry did quite well out of the MoD.
