Astute Submarine
Posted: 4th October 2024
The most advanced hunter-killer submarine in the Royal Navy is today in the water for the first time.
HMS Agamemnon, the penultimate Astute-class submarine built for the UK’s Silent Service, has been formally launched at BAE Systems’ facility in Barrow, following a delicate operation to move the 7,400-tonne boat from the construction hall into the neighbouring basin.
