UK to test Trident missile with sub launching 44ft Trident 2 for first time since 2016
The Royal Navy is due to test fire a nuclear weapon within days.
Officials issued a warning to shipping as nuclear submarine HMS Vanguard sailed into the Atlantic this week.
It is the first time the UK has test fired a missile since a botched launch in 2016.
And it follows a drumbeat of warnings that the world is careering to World War Three.
The Sun understands the £4bn sub is scheduled to test fire an unarmed missile after completing a seven year refit in Plymouth.
The tests are the final hurdle for HMS Vanguard to re-enter service as part of the UK’s nuclear deterrent fleet.
