The Royal Navy is the only navy (besides the USN) to operate only nuclear propelled Submarines, Since HMS Dreadnought the United Kingdoms first nuclear powered submarine in 1960 the Royal Navy has been a pioneer in the art of building and operating nuclear submarines. HMS Conqueror remains the first and only nuclear powered submarine to sink an enemy vessel the ARA Belgrano in the 1982 Falklands War.

The Royal Navy currently operates two types of Submarines, Attack Submarines for engaging other ships and submarines and land targets via Tomahawk land attack missiles, and Ballistic Missile submarines to provide a permanent nuclear deterrant. These are divided into four classes, these are:

1 x Swiftsure Class
7 x Trafalgar Class
7 x Astute Class
4 x Vanguard Class

  • because "She (who I didn't know yet was briefed on her ...what would you call me at that point, "mark" or "daughters escort") didn't think that was right at Tim Eatons one day...."

    The subtle allegory not going undetected...

    just unreported...

    The "NEW WORLD ORDER" of "Sure, I'll take fries with that, Queen Elizabeth".

  • Bye. Need to sell those to raide paycheque fnds for the fundraisers paycheques that never got there.

  • @canaryman69 woo!

  • @ministryod10 France is known as a bunch of pussy's. The Brits are bad ass! Good friends and allies of the U.S.. You can always count on the Brits, the French are not dependable and would rather surrender than fight. Remember the pussy French would not allow the U.S. to fly over for a bombing run, so we had to go around. The Brits are great warriors. Long live the Brits and U.S.A.. Hell the French cannot even fight the raghead muslims in their country, LOL

  • @Th3R3ap3r3r ya but the French subs are designed to run away fast, that is why they are called Surrender subs.

  • @TQMS100 More over... we sunk the French fleet in WW2 because they refused to help the Allies... capitulating mugs. And maybe we don't have the clout we used to have, but I'd rather have what we do than a Nuclear Carrier that is either permanently on rotation for maintenance / reactor refurb / just generally broken, like the French Charles De Gaulle... come to think of it, broken - much like its namesake.

  • Brilliant. I'd love to have been a submariner. I was in the RN once for short time. If I'd stayed in longer I'd be in Boats now you can bet! thanks for uploading.

  • @GrandeurFrancaise We saved you Frog arse in WW1 and WW2. You were to busy drinking wine. You were selling weapons to the Argie. We kicked their ass without any help. Under a NATO protacool if a NATO country is attacked all NATO countrys act as if they were attacked and we supported the americans 110% in Afganistan. You frog bastards got your arse kicked in every war you've been in. Remember indo-china and your so called colonies in Asia. You got raped their and you will get raped in future wars
