Well the first of the Astute class, HMS Astute herself, was seen putting to sea :-* :-* :-* 8-)

After seeing some of how the wonderfully skilled workers of BAE Systems in Barrow, coupled to elsewhere, build these boats I just hope for their futures that all 7 of the class planned will be built.

To see such magnificent engineering in action showed how this country can still complete such projects, and we must never loose those skills.  Thank goodness BAE have an apprenticeship programme 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-)

A great TV programme :y :y :y
