LONDON, Feb. 23 (UPI) -- Britain plans to order four 35,000-ton fuel tankers for the British navy's auxiliary fleet from Daewoo Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering of South Korea.

The order, announced by Britain's Ministry of Defense, is worth $700 million and is the third-largest defense export-related order for the Asian nation order.

It did not come, however, without dissent. The British Labor Party's shadow Defense Secretary Jim Murphy called the order a loss for British industry.
