Just learnt that the reactors on these things have the same safety flaw as the Fukushima reactors! Apparently new US a new reactor design that is not susceptible to a Fikushima type accident. BUT OURS HAVE AM OLDER DESIGN WHICH IS INHERENTLY UNSAFE! Well done MOD!
That was a good & well made documentary. The Astute must be a fine machine. With the current world uncertainty I believe we'll see it soon in action. (God, I hope not)
I hate that it's a war machine, but I like that it's a really beautiful machine. Nice work. Why don't humans do things on this scale just because we can?
The commander featured in this video lost his command for running aground off the Isle of Skye. Poor chap, it's not the first sub that's run aground near Skye.
Kind of funny to remember that Mr Coles - the officer in charge and talking a lot from the beginning grounds this baby a few month later...

I'm waiting for the Russians and the conspiracy nuts to blame the Astute for sinking the Kursk. Give them time, they just havnt thought of it yet.

Shame to think it runs aground, has a fault with its heat exchanger, and a shooting death and injury aboard all within 2 years of commissioning.....

This, together with "How to Build a Jumbo Jet Engine", marks a highlight of YouTube. These are the best documentaries I have viewed - excellent.

The music track playing at the end when Astute leaves port is "Orchard" by David Fuller from the album "ECK - Natural"
