Submarine, underwater test

Posted: 14th October 2025

The Royal Navy’s newest nuclear-powered attack submarine, HMS Agamemnon,

has successfully submerged for the first time during trials at BAE
Systems’ Barrow-in-Furness shipyard, according to the company. The
three-day “trim dive” in Devonshire Dock tested the 7,400-tonne
vessel’s stability, buoyancy, and watertight integrity ahead of its
departure from Barrow to join the Royal Navy’s fleet at His Majesty’s
Naval Base Clyde.
