The Astute-class submarines are the Royal Navy’s latest nuclear-powered attack subs, built to replace the Trafalgar-class.

-Remarkably quiet, they feature Rolls-Royce PWR2 reactors that require no refueling during their service life, advanced Spearfish torpedoes, and Tomahawk missiles with a 1,000-mile range.

-A high-tech periscope system gathers HD imagery for improved situational awareness, while the Thales 2076 sonar suite is considered one of the best in the world.

-With five Astute subs now active and two more under construction, this class solidifies Britain’s standing in modern undersea warfare, offering stealth, endurance, and advanced firepower to challenge adversaries like Russia.

The Royal Navy ruled the seas for centuries, building the most significant warships in the world.

The island nation became the world’s most powerful empire through its command of the sea. 

After World War II, the British were replaced by the United States, as they couldn’t compete with America’s industrial might. 

Great Britain had strict budgets and couldn’t afford to build, maintain, and man aircraft carriers like its American allies.
