HMS Agamemnon, the Royal Navy’s new attack submarine, has arrived at Faslane on the Clyde ahead of a programme of sea trials.
The vessel is the sixth submarine in the Astute class. Its arrival at the naval base marks the next stage in the submarine’s progress towards testing at sea.
Sea trials will allow HMS Agamemnon to undergo further assessment following its arrival. No details were provided on the timing or scope of the trials.
The submarine’s arrival adds another Astute-class vessel to the Royal Navy’s fleet at Faslane. The latest known development is that HMS Agamemnon is now at the base and is expected to begin sea trials.
