The Astute-class submarines elevate the Royal Navy’s undersea capabilities to new heights. These nuclear-powered vessels are equipped with some of the world’s most sophisticated sonar systems, capable of tracking ships at great distances. Their nuclear reactors provide nearly unlimited range, requiring no refueling over their service life. With an advanced combat management system, Astute-class subs can accurately track and engage targets in challenging environments. They are armed with Spearfish torpedoes and Tomahawk missiles, while their stealth is enhanced by a unique hull shape and acoustic-dampening tiles.
