Royal Navy submarine sets incredible new record before multimillion pound revamp | UK | News
A royal navy hunter-chiller submarine wrote history after breaking a new record. HMS Astute has completed the longest longest commission in the history of British submarine after 15 years of continuous service worldwide.
The nuclear -energy boat came to Devonport Naval Base this week, where millions of pounds will be renewed. HMS Astute, the last nine months in the Atlantic and the operations in the Mediterranean. The last action of HMS Anson’s first commission was to give the VIPs and the crew’s family and friends a rare idea of the submarine life.
After leaving Plymouth, they spent a few hours under the waves and a favorite of a royal navy, cheesy Wham Bam (cheese toast plus grilled gambone and fried eggs) were offered.
Astute’s commander Christopher Bate said: “This instant image was a small coin for his friends and families for the support and sacrifices made on HMS Astute and on operations.
The 97-meter boat is the first of its intelligence class-five of the technners are in service, the sixth set will be commissioned later this year and the last ship is still under construction.
HMS Astute was assigned in 2010 and reached a series of principles during its service.
It was the first clever class boat to visit Australia and the United States and was the first to pass through the Suez Canal.
Zeki Class is traditionally armed, unlike the pioneering class boats of the Navy, which carries England’s nuclear deterrent Trident missiles.
HMS Astute and sister have weapons, including Tomahawk missiles – the American submarine used missiles to hit the Iranian nuclear facility in US attacks last month. Tomahawk Cruise missiles have a range of more than 1000 miles.
The navy did not say how long HMS Astute’s Refit would last, but the programs could take several years.
All submarines of the navy were placed in the Faslane Navy Base, but all upgrade works are carried out in Devonport.
From the end of the 2030s, the intelligence class is expected to be replaced by a fleet up to the 12 SSN-AUKUS submarine.
Earlier this year, a pioneering class boat returned home 204 days later under the waves believed to be the longest deployment in the history of the royal navy.
