The submarine surfaces periodically to communicate with the U.K.’s Permanent Joint Headquarters in Northwood, where any launch order would be authorised by the prime minister and conveyed by the chief of joint operations, the report added.
The deployment comes after Downing Street authorised the U.S. to use British bases for strikes on Iranian sites threatening the Strait of Hormuz.
