HMS ASTUTE is the latest generation of nuclear powered submarine to be delivered to the Royal Navy, and represents one of the most significant engineering challenges to the UK in recent years. The Astute Class delivers a significant enhancement in capability over the previous generation of nuclear attack submarines. This presentation provides an overview of the Astute programme, including its technical and contractual background, the evolution of the design, and construction of the submarines at the BAE Systems shipyard in Barrow-in-Furness.
