Senior Correspondent Julian Kerr spoke to Rear Admiral Greg Sammut, head of the Future Submarine program, this week about the delayed Strategic Partnering Agreement (SPA) between Naval Group and the Commonwealth. According to RADM Sammut, progress is being made but no deadline has been set. This is to ensure that both parties reach an agreement that can endure for the life of the program.
