@GrandeurFrancaise I have far more respect for the French..They developed their own SLBM technology independent of the US.. Britain on the other hand imported everything from America. French defence technology today is far superior to the British.. Britiains only nuclear weapons establishment Aldermaston is under the control of Americans.
Even the computer system of Astute is windows.. LOL.. The main weapon of the Astute is the heavy torpedo Spearfish...Its revolutionary and unique gas turbine propulsion system is designed and developed where do you think ??? Oh yes in the US !!
The US might have had nuclear subs before us Brits, but they were after are "propulsor" for decades. We finally give in & let them in on the secret, and not only do they go and fit it to their subs but they then let the Discovery Channel make a documentary on it and claim it was their invention! I suppose it goes with the other lie that was turned into a film, that it was the US that captured the first Enigma decoder from the Germans! Oh wait a minute, that was us Brits again! Rule Britannia!
@stalkingalizee Technology has been a two way street for years with the US, except the US has made sure that the road into the UK has been brightly lit & publicized, and the one coming the other way unlit & not on any maps. The basic design of your modern carriers, your tank armor, the original design for the worlds most succesful vertical take off jet, HOTAS for cockpits, the US Navys current jet trainer , stun grenades for CT teams,and loads more..came from where ? Us sad limeys...
Reports emerge that HMS Astute was damaged by the tug sent to rescue it after it crashed into it causing tens of millions in damages to the diving plane.
Commander Andy Coles sacked for running Astute aground.
December 2010
Sewage and weapons support systems break down on the first day of a subsequent sea trial.
@FORBAN2 Sorry no it wasn't. All US nuclear technology was taken from the British Tube Alloys Project, and then the Americans attempted to seal nuclear tech flowing back to (rightful) foreign nations. Getting the nuclear reactor design was recuperation of denied British tech.
@MrStig691 Bullshit..FORBAN is correct .HMS Dreadnoughts RR nuclear reactor is 100% copy of the Westinghouse..In March 2003 it was announced that the American company - General Dynamics Electric Boat Division - would provide design assistance, and also help reinforce BAE's own Astute Project Team. Under an agreement finalised in April 2003, up to 10 designers and engineers will be assigned to BAE SYSTEMS' Barrow-In-Furness shipyard for a period of approximately two years. It was in all papers.
@MrStig691 BAE had to hire General Dynamic's design team to do the CAD design for the submarine. They also signed a 3 year contract with the US Navy to consult on production methods.
@MrStig691 Bullshit...British designed my ass.. The sonar Thales 2076 French technology , Atlas DESO 25 echosounder German technology, 2 x Thales CM010 optronic masts ,French technology,
Friend and Foe Raytheon Successor IFF, US technology, Main land attack weapon Tomahawk Block IV cruise missiles and its guidance and computer systems US technology..All advice and expertise came from General Dynamics Electric Boat go and read the updated wikipedia you peanut brain Brit..
@duplex2411 Cant believe I`m seeing this. Most things are multinational nowadays so you can attribute almost everything to ypour country. BAE/Raytheon/MBB/Thales/General Dynamics/ etc etc are all multinationals. The point here is this is a British Sub. The design hasnt been adaopted by any other nation. Time will tell how good she is.
@stubbostubbs .Because you are an ignorant fool .The launching was 43 months behind schedule, and £900 million over budget using US construction methods, specifically those of the Electric Boat company saved the project .On 22 October 2010, she ran aground off the west coast of Scotland and her captain was subsequently relieved of his command after a collision with the rescue tug. LOL..Yes ,the time will show how good she is but you shouldn't be that optimistic.
@Callum9710 Britain would be ok if only you people voted in a decent government, not one that takes the soft option and destroys it defences and wrecks its navy and carrier borne aircraft like that wonderful harrier aircraft. Your only aircraft carrier is destined for the scrap yard, your nimrod tankers are going to be scrapped even after a 2 billion pound upgrade. God that cameron is a moron, why dont you people do something about him, kick him out along with that wanker clegg, they,re idoits
The Admiratly has announced today that HMS ASTUTE is to be renamed HMS ASHORE, this is felt to be more in keeping with her recent role as a mud dredger in Scotland!
@FORBAN2 Hahahahahaha, yh ok.we invest in outdated technology rofl, submarine that is 10 yrs+ is more advanced than one which rolled off prodeuction line last year LMAO.Your just jealous we do not sell them to anyone like the Americans do lol. And the French? Do not get me started on that comment, the only thing close to a Submarine that they would require is a floating air raid shelter, for when they get invaded again.Why would the french need a sub? They cant fight rofl!
THE LEGENDARY BRITISH HUMOR.
THEY HAVE NAMED ASTUTE A SUBMARINE THAT HAS STALLED FOR THE 8 TIME IN HIS LIFE. THE LAST A MONTH AGO.
ARE SO BAD PROJECTED THAT 3 MEN WERE KILLED DUE A SHOOTOUT FOR THE WC.
BRITISH RETARDED. THE UK SUBMARINE ARE MOST TIME IN HARBOR FOR REPAIRS THAN IN THE SEA.

@stalkingalizee The nuclear sub and propulsion is invented in the US by Hyman Rickover
The first British Rolls Royce nuclear reactor is the exact copy of the US Westinghouse..
The British Polaris sub technology is copied from the US 1:1..
General Dynamics helped BEA System to develop Astute class sub...Who is helping whom???
