I forgot to mention that the work on Devonport's 14 Dock appears to be going to be completed in time for the commencement of defuelling of the first T-boat in 2026 under a contract Babcock announced in June. Various facilities in 14 dock passed their inactive commissioning regulatory inspection at the end of last year.
It is slightly confusing that they are starting with the Ts not the 5 Ss that are also in the basin. There are also 4 older boats which are defuelled, but awaiting dismantling.
