My guess is that it would be difficult if not impossible to effect this exchange. Even if the missiles fit the launchers exactly, and I don't know that they do, redesign to either the missile, the submarine, or both may be required, in order to accommodate  different umbilical layouts, different software, etc. The French might also not be willing to share such sensitive design and tech.

Might be better for the Brits to dust off plans for the Blue Steel warhead and modernize and adapt that to their missiles.

Only the first of the Dreadnought class has been laid down so far so a redesign might be possible. The French missile has been on the table during the consultation period, at the time it was thought best to use the US missile for diplomatic purposes, though it looks like trying to maintain diplomatic relations with Washington is a lost cause at this point.

Good for the RN, they may be able to pivot to French missiles topped with British warheads without too much headache.

During Turning Point USA’s AmericaFest 2025, held on Dec. 21, JD Vance said that "America was founded as, and always will be, a Christian nation."

But if America is a Christian nation, what is his wife, Usha, who is a Hindu?
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

I heard the new Dreadnought is supposed to be equipped with railguns. When did those become practical?

Last month, deputy US representative Jonathan Shrier denounced a set of resolutions protecting humanitarian workers as “nothing more than a globalist wish list of divisive cultural causes”.

Trump admin says it's withholding social safety net money from 5 states over fraud concerns

President Donald Trump's administration said Tuesday that it is withholding funding for programs that support needy families with children in five Democratic-led states over concerns about fraud.

The Department of Health and Human Services, which oversees the program, will require the states to provide extra documentation to access the funds.

"Families who rely on child care and family assistance programs deserve confidence that these resources are used lawfully and for their intended purpose," HHS Deputy Secretary Jim O'Neill said in a statement.

The administration has not laid out details about the fraud allegations.

Five states — California, Colorado, Illinois, Minnesota and New York — are targeted, and the HHS said they had been notified.

Gov. Kathy Hochul said earlier in the day that New York is prepared to take the administration to court, as Democratic-led states have done scores of times now.

"We'll fight this with every fiber of our being, because our kids should not be political pawns in a fight that Donald Trump seems to have with blue state governors," she said.

More punishing of political opponents. Four of those five states have significant foreign-trade income. It'd be a shame if they held some back.
