BAE Systems Submarine SolutionsIt operates one of the few Shipyards in the world capable of building nuclear submarines, which has constructed all of the Royal Navy's nuclear-powered submarines since the commissioning of HMS Dreadnaught in 1963 (with the exception of HMS Conqueror, built by Cammell Laird). The Barrow-in-Furness shipyard has also been building submarines since the Holland class submarine first entered service with the Royal Navy in 1903.Barrow-in-FurnessDuring World War II, Barrow was a target for the German air force looking to disable the town's shipbuilding capabilities (see Barrow Blitz).[22] The town suffered the most in a short period between April and May 1941. During the war, a local housewife, Nella Last, was selected to write a diary of her everyday experiences on the home front for the Mass-Observation project. Her memoirs were later adapted for television as Housewife, 49 starring Victoria Wood. The difficulty in targeting bombs meant that the shipyards and steelworks were often missed, at the expense of the residential areas. Ultimately, 83 people were killed and 11,000 houses in the area were left damaged. To escape the heaviest bombardments, many people in the central areas left the town to sleep in hedgerows with some being permanently evacuated. Barrow's industry continued to supply the war effort, with Winston Churchill visiting the town on one occasion to launch the aircraft carrier HMS Indomitable.[23] Besides the dozens of civilians killed during World War II, some 268 Barrovian men were also killed whilst in combat.[21]Vickers Shipbuilding and Engineering LtdHMS InvinciblePenrith, CumbriaWork on the development was suspended in October 2008 due to a lack of funding during the financial crisis,[6] but a new deal has been agreed with Sainsbury's and it is hoped that work will resume in November 2010.
