British mills will supply 35% by weight and 50% by value of the steel required for the new Royal Navy ships.
The specialist thin steel plate making up the total steel requirement will be made in Sweden because there are no British mills equipped to provide it.
Shipbuilding has moved on since the days of bog standard specification steels. Currently the copper nickel clad steels used in offshore structures is being evaluated for use in the construction of the hulls of large ships.
