BAE Systems Surface Fleet Solutions was a wholly owned subsidiary of BAE Systems, based at two shipyards on the River Clyde in Glasgow and BAE Systems' Filton offices. It was responsible for the company's surface surface warship design, build and support activities.
It was originally established as a purely surface shipbuilder, BAE Systems Naval Ships, from the split of BAE Systems Marine in 2003; before being renamed Surface Fleet Solutions in 2006, upon combination of BAE Systems' surface shipbuild interests with the naval division of BAE Systems Customer Solutions & Support.
On 1 July 2008 it was merged into BVT Surface Fleet, a joint venture between BAE Systems and Portsmouth-based VT Group, which subsequently became BAE Systems Surface Ships in 2009.

Famous quotes containing the words systems, surface, fleet and/or solutions:
“Our little systems have their day;
They have their day and cease to be:
They are but broken lights of thee,
And thou, O Lord, art more than they.”
—Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
“See how peaceful it is here. The sea is everything. An immense reservoir of nature where I roam at will.... Think of it. On the surface there is hunger and fear. Men still exercise unjust laws. They fight, tear one another to pieces. A mere few feet beneath the waves their reign ceases, their evil drowns. Here on the ocean floor is the only independence. Here I am free.”
—Earl Felton, and Richard Fleischer. Captain Nemo (James Mason)
“A city on th’ inconstant billows dancing;
For so appears this fleet majestical.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Football strategy does not originate in a scrimmage: it is useless to expect solutions in a political compaign.”
—Walter Lippmann (1889–1974)
