Looks like it will be an awesome boat. Ive always admired submarines and submariners. The British Navy is one of the best in the world, if not the best. And this boat should solidify that position in the world. I wonder how it compares to the Virgina class boats we here in the US are about to put out to sea when they finish trials. Two of the best navies in the world with two of what should be the best submarines.

Couldn't agree with you more . This does NOT seem right! I'm sure they must have missed something .

bear in mind that this is the revised schedule that they are ahead off after they messed up thee contract bigtime and had to get Electric Boat to come sort it out for them.

Nice Sub.

Always a catch on the time eh?

Well, I don't know, some American Contractors seem to be late regurarly as well, it's not just the British.

Probably most of the weapons fit - that's what Whitehall usually does.
