Summary

Description
English: Image shows HMS Astute in the foreground with sister submarine HMS Ambush off the west coast of Scotland.

The Ministry of Defence has awarded a £1.2BN contract for Audacious, the latest Astute Class attack submarine to be built for the Royal Navy.

The contract with BAE Systems will safeguard 3,000 skilled jobs at Barrow in Cumbria and represents a significant step forward in the Astute submarine programme.

Audacious is the fourth of seven Astute Class submarines being built for the Royal Navy. They are the most technologically advanced the Royal Navy has ever sent to sea and offer a step change in capability.

The first two boats, Astute and Ambush, are currently undergoing sea trials to rigorously test their systems. Astute has conducted deep dive trials and successfully fired Tomahawk land attack missiles and Spearfish torpedoes.

Ambush’s ability to dive and surface has been successfully tested as has her propulsion system and the third boat, Artful, is reaching the final stages of her construction at Barrow shipyard.
