Britain's nuclear submarines to face increased risk of detection, US general warns

Britain's nuclear-powered submarines will face an increasing risk of being detected underwater by hostile states, a senior US military official said recently.

General James E. Rainey, commanding general of US Army Futures Command, was speaking at a defence lecture in London when he declared that technological advances such as modern sea drones will mean hostile states such as Russia and China will have a better probability of detecting submerged nuclear-powered submarines.
