Current Royal Navy Submarines


This page gives details of current Royal Navy submarines, and will eventually give details on the use of submarines, together with details of their weapons. The submarine is considered to be one of the more powerful and useful vessels in any Navy and the Royal Navy is no exception. Although the Royal Navy was late to approve of the submarine (believing it to be an unfair weapon) they have become one of the finest operators of submarines in the world. The training course that submarine commanders have to go through ("perisher") is consided to be the best training programme in the world, and many foreign powers send their commanders to the Royal Navy to be trained.
