HMS Ambush

Astute class submarine HMS Ambush is pictured during sea trials near Scotland.
Ambush, second of the nuclear powered attack submarines, was named in Barrow on 16 December 2010 and launched on 5 January 2011. Having now completed her initial dive, she is in the final stages of fitting out whilst preparing for an extensive programme of sea trials. She will sail for her home port of Faslane in 2012.
The seven Astute Class boats planned for introduction to the Royal Navy are the most advanced and powerful attack submarines Britain has ever sent to sea. Featuring the latest nuclear-powered technology, the vessels will never need to be refuelled and are capable of circumnavigating the world submerged, manufacturing the crews oxygen from seawater as she goes.
The Astute Class are also quieter than any of her predecessors and have the ability to operate covertly and remain undetected, despite being fifty percent larger in size than the Royal Navys current Trafalgar Class submarines

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking photograph, HMS Ambush, the second Astute-class nuclear-powered attack submarine, undergoes sea trials off the coast of Scotland. Launched on January 5, 2011, after being named in Barrow on December 16, 2010, Ambush is in the final stages of fitting out and preparing for an extensive programme of trials before setting sail for her home port of Faslane in 2012. The Astute Class, of which seven are planned for the Royal Navy, represents the most advanced and powerful attack submarines ever built for the British military. Equipped with the latest nuclear-powered technology, these vessels will never require refueling and can circumnavigate the world submerged, generating oxygen for the crew from seawater as they go. Measuring fifty percent larger than the Royal Navy's current Trafalgar-class submarines, the Astute Class boats boast impressive capabilities. They are quieter than any of their predecessors, enabling them to operate covertly and remain undetected, despite their size. The Astute Class submarines represent a significant leap forward in submarine technology and will serve as a formidable addition to the Royal Navy's fleet.
