Pollard added: “The threats facing the United Kingdom are real and they are growing.
“This government is not waiting – we are acting now to ensure our Royal Navy has the bases and infrastructure it needs to be ready to fight.
“This £26bn investment is the largest in our naval bases since the Cold War, and Scotland is central to it.”
He added that Faslane was “critical to our nation’s defence”.
Meanwhile, the MoD has announced that it has completed the purchase of the Finnart oil terminal on Loch Long to increase the Royal Navy’s capacity to store fuel.
In addition, £20m will be invested to revitalise Inchgreen Marine Park near Greenock, one of the UK’s largest operational dry docks.
Scottish Labour deputy leader Dame Jackie Baillie said: “The UK Labour government is making record investment to help transform our armed forces to give them the funding and equipment they need to keep our country safe.
“In an increasingly dangerous and volatile world, that is good news for people right across the UK, including in Scotland, by ensuring we are better prepared to defend our nation.
“But it is also welcome for our armed services based at Faslane, and here in Scotland, as they will benefit from that investment, which will strengthen capability.”
