I really wish, without sounding too ungrateful I hope, that you would have a human read the narration. The machine reading is quite jarring. Thanks.

I love that the Royal Navy named a class of subs with a pun on a Rudyard Kipling quote from childrens' literature. Intelligent understated humour... how very British. Somebody on the panel that chose the name was a 'stute fish.

Better than the vanguard class? Though tbh ..you've never seenn what it looks like properly .... Having seen one out of water and served on them I can't agree But yes ...astute are a beaut

Regardless of any other factors I’m going to go for YASEN as the sleekest, meanest-looking submarine.

@@wiggy5209 Vanguard are the original design for the Astute... they got the curves in the same places. Vanguard look good but the newer astute with the more curvy slimline tower and deck wins me over... i am also not a fan of large boats... the bigger they are... the more curves are replaced with straight lines.

@babalonkie Ай бұрын

Australia has not purchased new Astute's... They bought Virginia-class submarines... and one Pre-Owned Astute. Later, Australia will get new different submarines built by them and UK... They will not be Astute's... they will be unique builds.

@babalonkie Ай бұрын

@@DavidOlver They have paid for initial development and started paying for the infrastructure, which is the start of the process of agreement. And why would you say that "UK should build them for Australia now" If you knew Australia has not paid for any? Or are you expecting the UK to build for free?

@DavidOlver Ай бұрын

@@babalonkie for free i never said that. we need them yesterday not in 15 to 20 years. America is building there subs as fast as they can and its not fast enough. The Astute is at the end of production and could start again. And give Britten the money it needs

@babalonkie Ай бұрын

@@DavidOlver But Australia has never asked for a nuclear powered submarine until recently... and the UK has not even built it's own fleet yet... it still has 2 of it's own in construction.

Not much information ....What is the speed? Diving depth? How powerful is its sonar? Detection range? What about stealth? 6 torpedo types limited fire power...

On the Royal Navy official website for HMS Astute it says on the main facts and figures page 100 personnel, 5 toilets and showers and 16000 tonne displacement... I think that is all we need to know. Could perhaps benefit from shedding a few pounds.

Best submarines in the world. Wait until you see the Dreadnought class. Sorry you won't. But it's for your safety as well. Safety for the world's people are friends and allies around the world. We our starting to build a modern Royal Navy. We are still 6th or 5th worlds biggest global defence spenders on arms. I would rase it to 2.5 then 2.8 and then 3% to give more skilled jobs needed around all of the UK. Building better for the future. So are grandchildren can live in Peace. "Use the The Royal Navy Motto". It was the Pandemic that caused billions of dollars from every country around the world.
