THIS is the jaw-dropping moment a 167ft nuclear submarine towered over homes as the Royal Navy moved the ship through residential streets.<\/p>\n
Incredible pictures show a "mega-unit" of the Royal Navy's new nuclear submarine being transported along Cumbrian streets wrapped in black plastic.<\/p>\n

At more than 20m, the huge section of HMS Dreadnought is seen protected against the elements by what the Royal Navy describe as "what must be the world's largest black bin bag".<\/p>\n
The nuclear-armed ballistic missile submarines are being constructed by BAE Systems at its Barrow-in-Furness shipyard as part of a \u00a331billion programme.<\/p>\n
The move occurred on September 21 but given the highly sensitive nature of the programme, the MOD have only today cleared the pictures.<\/p>\n
A BAE Systems spokesperson comments: "The longest ever 'mega-unit' so far for Dreadnought Boat 1 has been moved down the road into BAE Systems Submarines' Devonshire Dock Hall (DDH) in Barrow-in-Furness.<\/p>\n
