BARROW'S shipyard workers are trying their 'damnedest' to deliver the next generations of nuclear submarines amid criticism of delays.
Union boss Ian Waddell, paid tribute to the thousands of workers building the Dreadnought and Astute programmes of nuclear submarines at Barrow's shipyard.
He spoke at the at of parliament's Defence Committee after one MP criticised delays in delivery of Astute submarines.
Conservative MP Mark Francois said: "The Astute programme is not an encouraging precursor to the Dreadnought programme because if Dreadnought goes anything like Astute we'll lose continuity of the continuous at sea deterrent.
"That's why the committee is particularly concerned.
