    British Sailors Train with Fire Hoses to Protect Nuclear Subs from Drones

    British sailors are being trained to protect nuclear submarines from drone attacks using fire hoses. The Vanguard-class submarines, costing around £4 billion each, lack traditional air defense systems.

The training comes as a response to changing threats, with submarines being particularly vulnerable when surfaced or docked.
