The Royal Navy's largest and most advanced attack submarine, HMS Anson, has successfully completed its trials in the Atlantic.

HMS Anson is the fifth submarine of the Astute Class, joining its predecessors Astute, Artful, Ambush, and Audacious.

This nuclear-powered submarine can stay underwater indefinitely, generating its own oxygen and water for the crew.

Equipped with Tomahawk missiles for precise land strikes and Spearfish torpedoes for engaging enemy submarines, HMS Anson is a formidable force.

Testing took place at the Atlantic Undersea Test and Evaluation Center (AUTEC) in the Bahamas, utilizing advanced facilities and natural formations.

The trials focused on HMS Anson's sonar systems, stealth capabilities, and overall performance, ensuring it can detect enemies without being seen.

With trials complete, HMS Anson is prepared to join the Royal Navy fleet, marking a significant advancement in naval technology.
