Diesel boats have conning towers.

That is the USS Texas. I know that because it happened in Norfolk, VA. I work there...

@nosaltadded - there's no "conning tower" on that boat.

does anyone know if you can decommission a ship inside a dry dock or floating dry dock???

[ShugInternational]

Good video.

[onceastoner]

Not an Astute, that's a US Virginia class sub, probably the New Mexico. I'd like to see some video of an Astute rollout as well - fine sub.

[nosaltadded]

@onceastoner Probably the New Mexico. That's why the Texas state flag was on the conning tower.

do you know which submarine this is and where the filming was done. Im wondering if this is the new HMS Astitute that the royal navy have built?
